[1] cf. generally the scholia to Homer, Iliad 5.500 (where likmw/ntwn occurs; cf. lambda 534).
[2] Greek Anthology 6.98.1-3 (Zonas, trans. LCL); cf. omicron 153. On this epigram, a farmer's dedication, see Gow and Page (vol. I, 380-381), (vol. II, 414), and further extracts at gamma 162, lambda 847, and pi 993. As Gow and Page note (vol. I, 414), the poet has coined the following words for this extract: e)naulako-foi=tis, o)lighrosi/h, a)lwi/ths, and pa/nspermos.
