Notes:
[1] = Synagoge, Photius pi632. A slightly garbled version of Apollonius, Lexicon Homericum 130 (commenting on Homer Iliad 16.78), where one finds more appropriately perie/rxetai ("goes around") in place of perii/sxetai ("is held in check").
[2] Agathias, Histories 5.22. For Ainos see generally alphaiota 225. From this point the Kotrigur Huns launch an amphibious attack on the Thracian Chersonese (the modern-day Gallipoli Peninsula, in 559 CE; cf. chi 215); cf. Frendo (158). For further context, see also alpha 1017, gamma 304, epsilon 2035, and kappa 2274.
