Notes:
[1] Same or similar glossing in other lexica and in several Homeric
scholia; see the references at
Photius iota276 Theodoridis. The headword itself is taken to be quoted from
Homer: see
Iliad 1.38, 1.151, etc.
[2] The suffix
-fi seems to be an old instrumental ending, attested in
Homer and in Mycenean, which did not obtain a place in the Greek declensional system (Smyth ยง280, web address 1). For what follows here cf. e.g. Apollonius Dyscolus in
Grammatici Graeci 1.1.165.4-8.
[3] Hesiod,
Works and Days 216.
[4]
Homer,
Iliad 11.351.
[5] Quotation unidentifiable.
[6]
Homer,
Iliad 13.308.
[7] An approximation of
Alcman fr.28 Page (which actually has
w)rani/afi).
