Notes:
[1] Likewise in other lexica.
[2] Greek Anthology 6.255.5-7 (Erucius), a herdsman's dedication of a horn taken from a bull; already at alpha 2997, q.v. On this epigram generally, see Gow and Page vol. I (248-249), vol. II (281-282), and its further excerpts at alpha 4362, beta 355, iota 397, kappa 1867, kappa 1946, omicron 915, and chi 96. Here the Suda lexicographer follows the Anthologia Palatina (AP) in reading a)pekra/nize (imperfect, "was knocking off"), whereas Gow and Page (vol. I, 248) and the Suda at alpha 2997 follow the AP scribe designated C (the Corrector) with the emendation a)pekra/nice (aorist, "knocked off once and for all").
