Notes:
Same entry in
Photius (phi114 Theodoridis); similar in other lexica, including
Hesychius (entry based on
Cratinus fr. 94 Kock = 101 K.-A., contextless); cf. scholion on Hesiod,
Works and Days 569-571 (where the headword occurs: web address 1), and
Athenaeus,
Deipnosophists 2.63A (2.63 Kaibel).
[1] Bergk emended
me/giston "largest" to
mei=zon "larger" on the basis of
Hesychius' gloss.
