Notes:
For this multi-purpose feminine noun a)gku/lh see LSJ s.v. (web address 1 below).
[1] Strictly speaking, the thong or strap with which a javelin was thrown, but by extension the javelin itself; LSJ II.2 has instances from Euripides and elsewhere.
[2] This perfect participle (masculine nominative singular) occurs in Aristophanes, Birds 1180, and this is the gloss of the scholia there; cf. also the scholia to Aristophanes, Knights 262. A rare variant is h)gkulhme/nos, attested in Athenaeus (quoting Satyros) and (maybe) Lucian.
[3] Exodus 36.34 LXX; sense 5 in LSJ.
