Notes:
Adler cites the Ambrosian Lexicon (2673) as a comparison.
[1] A nonsensical equivalence as it stands. Perhaps a remnant of an etymological gloss connecting the headword and h(/lios ('sun'), hinging on a belief that 'studs' in the sense of dermal or opthalmic blemishes (epsilon 3897) were caused by exposure to the sun (see Etymologicum Magnum 403.19-23).
