Notes:
[1] cf. generally iota 66. The present nominative plural headword, already in Hesychius iota98 (who relates it to animals), might be quoted from somewhere in that form but more probably reflects the accusative plural in Lycophron, Alexandra 606.
[2] Greek Anthology 6.192.7-8 (Archias). Find further extracts from this epigram, a retiring fisherman's dedication, at beta 365, gamma 54, tau 1014, and phi 192.
