Notes:
[1] The distinction between the headword and the glossing word is that the latter has a diaeresis between the first two vowels (boïdion) while the former does not (boidion).
[2] Greek Anthology 7.169.7-8; cf. Hesychius of Miletus FGrH 390 F1 paras.28-30; Stephanus of Byzantium s.v. Bosporos; Kodinos p. 9 (Bonn); Constantine Porphyrogenitus, De thematibus 2.12; Dionysius of Byzantium 110 (ed. Gungreich). For Chares see chi 101. See another excerpt from this epigram at alpha 2764.
