Ino-Leucothea, iota 381, iota 382, iota 386, kappa 242, lambda 331, and omega 12), now a sea-nymph, rises up in flight to appear before Odysseus on his raft.
[1] The gloss is a feminine substantive, given here in the nominative singular; see LSJ s.v. Same glossing at Etymologicum Magnum 685.11; cf. Hesychius s.v. and the scholia to Homer, Odyssey 5.337 (above). Adler also cites the Ambrosian Lexicon (1006).
