Notes:
[1] The headword is present optative of i(lh/kw, second person singular (glossed with an imperative). Though it occurs in the quotation given later in the entry, it appears to be quoted here from Oppian, Halieutica 1.73; see the scholia there. Compare also a scholion on Homer, Odyssey 21.365; Hesychius iota545, iota546.
[2] Greek Anthology 6.74.5 (Agathias Scholasticus). See other extracts from this epigram, in which a Bacchant withdraws from the cult, at alpha 4369, beta 141, and rho 233.
