Notes:
[1] The headword as transmitted -- unless this is one of Adler's rare misprints -- appears to be neuter singular (so suggesting a connection with frankincense: see LSJ s.v.
ka/xrus, web address 1). The glossing, again at the end of the entry, is for the feminine accusative plural; and cf.
kappa 1156.

Aristophanes,
Clouds 1358.
