Notes:
See also
beta 90 (with the note on spelling there: this headword, every time it appears, should be
grutodo/kh) and
pi 122; also
tau 1105. The present entry seems especially confused and confusing.

Greek Anthology 6.254.6 (
Myrinus), an effeminate man's dedication to Priapus; cf. Gow and Page vol. I (288-289); vol. II (320-321); and further extracts from this epigram at
theta 239,
tau 27,
upsilon 691, and
phi 163. Gow and Page accept (vol. I, 288) the correction to
grutodo/khn (feminine accusative singular, "a chest for feminine things"), proposed by Toup, which might help resolve some of the confusion arising from the Suda's present entry; cf.
beta 90 note.
