Greek display:    

Headword: *folko/s
Adler number: phi,565
Translated headword: pholkos
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] squinting.
Greek Original:
*folko/s: strabo/s.
Note:
Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius phi253 Theodoridis. The headword is used of the ugly Thersites in Homer, Iliad 2.217 (web address 1); see also phi 577, and generally theta 257. The gloss 'squinting' (in the scholia there) has been spurned by modern scholars, who suggest, rather, something like bandy-legged.
