Headword: *lousi/a
Adler number: lambda,695
Translated headword: Lousia
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[An Attic deme], the demesmen of which [are] Lousieis. And [the singular is] Lousieus; [Lousia is] a deme of [sc. the Athenian tribe] Oineis.
Greek Original:
*lousi/a, a)f' ou(= oi( dhmo/tai *lousiei=s. kai\ *lousieu/s: dh=mos th=s *oi)nhi/+dos.
Note:
Clumsily abridged from Harpokration s.v. Lousieus (sic), i.e. this deme's demotikon, mentioned in Hyperides fr. 92 Jensen. While supplements can, as indicated, bring logical sense to the entry, it is actually one of many where the Suda shows no awareness of the distinction between the collective name of a deme and its (singular or plural) demotikon.
