This compendious entry, also in other lexica (see the copious references at Photius tau139 Theodoridis) draws on a variety of earlier lexica, and also scholia to passages where the headword, a neuter noun with multiple meanings (see LSJ s.v.), occurs: e.g. Homer, Iliad 10.56; Plato, Symposium 205A.
cf. epsilon 1455, pi 2008, tau 271.
