Notes:
The headword might be extracted from the first quotation given, though ps.-
Zonaras (see n. 1) does not give it, and in any event see n. 2.
[1] Similar glossing (second synonym only) in ps.-
Zonaras.
[2] An approximation of
Greek Anthology 6.245.6 (where "poverty" is in the accusative case, not nominative as here, and the verb in question is -- as suggested by Salmasius (Claude de Saumaise, 1588-1653); cf. Gow and Page, vol. II, 268 -- more probably
a)le/kois "might you ward off"). The epigram, the sailor
Diogenes's dedication of a promised object to one of the Kabeiroi (cf.
kappa 6) during a storm at sea, is attributed to
Diodorus; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 234-235; and vol. II, 267-268) and further extracts from this epigram at
alpha 664,
beta 390,
lambda 183, and
lambda 733.
[3] But only with the addition of a negative, as in the
Homer passage about to be quoted. (The Suda has confused matters by presenting its scholion first.)
