Notes:
The two-word phrase in the accusative case which forms the present headword -- reversed at
phi 283 -- occurs in
Homer,
Iliad 23.270 (web address 1; nominative case at line 616). The second gloss here comes from the
scholia there (and the first gloss from
Photius and other lexica). In fact ancient commentators could not agree whether the adjective meant able to stand on both ends or with a handle on each side: see
Athenaeus,
Deipnosophists 11.500F-501D (11.103 Kaibel), and summarily in LSJ s.v.
For the shallow
phiale cf.
phi 284.
