Notes:
[1] Likewise (minus the grammatical point) in other lexica; references in
Photius alpha1558 Theodoridis. The headword, an aorist optative, is extracted from
Homer,
Odyssey 12.428 (on Charybdis:
chi 144); cf. the
scholia there. The line is quoted in
Plato's
Seventh Letter (345E).
[2] At the toe-end of Italy (
rho 122).
[3] Quotation unidentifiable. (Adler tentatively suggests
Diodorus Siculus.)
