[1] cf. scholia to Aristophanes (n. 3 below), ps.-Herodian (Epimerismi 124.5-6), Hesychius sigma711.
[2] = Etymologicum Magnum 714.9. This etymology derives the headword from the similar-sounding but hypothetical (or at least unattested) sitobu/h ('grain-stuffer'), formed from the words for grain (si=tos) and 'stuff' (v.) (bu/w).
[3] Aristophanes, Wealth [Plutus] 806, alleged by ancient commentators to be part of a long quotation from Sophocles' lost play Inachus (fr. 275 Radt). (For another part see sigma 668.) Followed here by a comment from the scholia there.
[4] Greek Anthology 6.288.10 (Leonidas of Tarentum), employing two adjectives derived from the headword to describe women whom the narrator hopes that the goddess Athena will bless in return for their offerings. The first of these adjectives is unattested elsewhere, but the second is used by the same poet at Greek Anthology 6.300.2; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 120), (vol. II, 350-352), and further excerpts from this epigram at eta 632 and pi 1530.
