[1] See LSJ s.v. stuppei=on for the wide variety of attested spellings.
[2] Parallels for the 'flax' aspect in other lexica (references at Photius sigma652 Theodoridis), including, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. (The 'pit of the olive' sense seems to be otherwise unattested, in either spelling, and is not registered by LSJ.)
