Similar glosses in other lexica; see also mu 1323.
[1] cf. Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon 114.19 (the source for Hesychius mu2035).
[2] Ms F reads molu/esqai; G has molu/nesqai for which cf. mu 1323.
[3] For the verb molei=n, see mu 1192, mu 1202.
[4] Adler reports the same claim in the Ambrosian Lexicon (1075); and note also ps.-Zonaras, *Mw=los and *Mw=la as 'names of cities'. But neither is otherwise attested, even in the usually comprehensive Stephanus of Byzantium.
