[1] Phrynichus the Atticist (Eclogae 270.1) notes that pa/puros is an Egyptian word, instead of which one should use the word bi/blos. In the Suda, see beta 587. See also ps.-Zonaras and Photius (s.v. bu/blos). For papyrus as a plant, see Theophrastus, Historia Plantarum 4.8.3-4. For the manufacture of papyrus as a writing material, see Pliny, Natural History 13.74-82 (and Johnson and Hendriks, below).
[2] The adjective khro/xitwn is only attested here.
[3] From tau 1212. The quotation derives from an epigram (Greek Anthology 6.249.1-2) dedicated by the poet Antipater of Salonica, a contemporary of Augustus, to his patron L. Calpurnius Piso; cf. Gow and Page, vol. I (38-39); vol. II (56); and another excerpt from this epigram at alpha 941. For Kronos (Roman Saturn) cf. kappa 2466, kappa 2469, kappa 2470, kappa 2472. Both the LSJ (s.v. tu/fh) and Gow and Page (vol. II, 56) associate tu/fh with bulrush, Typha angustata, synonymous with the current scientific nomenclature of Typha domingensis Pers., or southern cattail (web address 1).
