[2] Dative of the related adjective khw/eis. It occurs in Homer, Iliad 3.382; cf. the scholia there.
[3] Greek Anthology 7.218.9-10 (Antipater of Sidon), epitaph of Lais: "she, whose moistened bones still [smell] with fragrant myrrh ...". Quoted already at theta 588. See Gow and Page (vol. I, 19); (vol. II, 52-3); and further extracts from this epigram at alpha 1219, alpha 1683, delta 1519, theta 519, kappa 2628, lambda 789, omicron 51, pi 1457, and pi 1903. On Lais, the legendary Corinthian courtesan, see lambda 40, nu 16, and names of other Corinthian hetaeras--in practice akin to modern geishas--at epsilon 3266.
