[Meaning] of Italians.[1]
Also [sc. attested are] Ausones, [meaning] the kings; [the term comes] from the [verb] au)/sw, [meaning] I dare. [So the name means] those daring everything by their ordinance.[2]
Also [sc. attested is the phrase] 'Ausonian main',[3] [meaning] the Sicilian sea; [named] from Auson, the son of Odysseus and Kalypso, who was king there.[4]

Ausoniôn: Italôn. kai Ausones, hoi basileis: para to ausô, to tolmô. hoi panta epitolmôntes tôi prostagmati. kai Ausonios pontos, hê Sikelikê thalassa: apo Ausonos, tou Odusseôs kai Kalupsous huiou ekei basileusantos.
Notes:
[1] Likewise in other lexica. The headword, genitive plural, must be quoted from somewhere -- perhaps Oppian, Halieutica 2.676, where the scholia gloss 'Romans'.
[2] This odd material is unparalleled elsewhere.
[3] Strabo's preferred variant is *Au)so/nion pe/lagos
[4] (Atlas and Kalypso, in other versions.) For this material cf. the scholia to Lykophron, Alexandra 702.
