Notes:
From Harpokration s.v. (again, post-Suda, at
Etymologicum Magnum 210.34), commenting on this toponym's appearance in
Demosthenes 7.32 (web address 1); cf.
theta 114.
[1] Another attested version of the name (which would be neuter singular) is Bouchetion.
[2] So the transmitted Suda text, but Harpokration s.v. says "
Philostephanos in his
Matters Epeirote" (fr. 9a FHG).
