Notes:
[1] The various parts of this gloss are paralleled in other lexica. One would expect "on which" rather than "under which": manuscript A, as well as other lexica read
e)f' (see
Photius s.v.
poti/kranon).
[2] cf. scholion on
Thucydides 2.93.1 (web address 1), where the headword occurs (spelled
u(phre/sion as at
upsilon 431).
[3] (Not in manuscripts AV, Adler reports.) Accusative plural of a different noun,
u(phresi/a "body of rowers, ship's crew".
