The unglossed headword, nominative singular, occurs in the quotation given; see next note.
[1] Greek Anthology 6.291.1-2 (author unknown, but cf. alpha 84 and n.2 thereto), the vow of a wine-loving woman, should her fever break; cf. Gow and Page (74-77) and further lines at alpha 84 and mu 1022. The use of the headword in this quotation, with the "residue" of wine vessels standing as a pejorative metonym for a drunkard, is unusual (but see also Greek Anthology 7.455 (Leonidas of Tarentum)). More common meanings of the term include 'ash' and 'dust'.
