Notes:
[1] The headword is corrupted from
tetrapterulli/dwn, "of the little four-winged ones" (
tau 401), in
Aristophanes,
Acharnians 871; see further, next note.
[2] On
o)rtali/xwn see
omicron 638. The association with Boeotian is made in the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Acharnians 871 (from which the entire entry is taken), because the verse is spoken by a Theban.
