[1] cf.
scholia on
Aristophanes,
Wasps 836 and
Birds 436; similar glosses in other lexica. See also
iota 550.
[2] cf.
Greek Anthology 6.299.2 (
Phanias), quoted further at
theta 429. On this epigram, a dedication of food and wine to Hermes and Aphrodite, see Gow and Page (vol. I, 163), (vol. II, 471-472), and further excerpts at
delta 1548 and
sigma 1328. Gow and Page note (vol. I, 163) that here the Suda follows the
Anthologia Palatina (AP) in reading
i)pne/sta, a form which is not otherwise attested. However, they adopt (ibid.) a suggestion from the AP scribe designated C (
the Corrector) in reading
i)pneu/ta and so concomitantly accept Toup's (J.O. Toup, English classical scholar, 1713-1785) proposed emendation of
i)pni/ta,
baked in the oven; cf. Gow and Page (vol. II, 471) and Paton (460-461). For
fqo/is, see
phi 507.
[3] Abridged from Harpokration s.v., an entry generated by
Lycurgus fr. 75 Conomis (and citing
Pherecrates' comedy of this name); also
Photius and
Hesychius; cf.
mu 10.
