Notes:
[1] Likewise in other lexica. The headword comes from
i(ma/w; cf.
iota 331,
iota 359, and see also
alpha 2470.
[2] cf. scholion on
Aristophanes,
Frogs 1297; see also
iota 356,
iota 357,
iota 358.
[3] Quotation unidentifiable, though presumably from late historiography. (Adler notes Toup's suggested attribution to
Menander Protector.) For the Avars see generally under
alpha 18. The river 'Danapris', a.k.a. Borysthenes, is the present-day Dnieper, which flows SW into the top of the Black Sea.
