Notes:
[1] In the Troad, figuring in the
Iliad; Barrington Atlas map 56 grid C2; present-day Menderes Cay. Same gloss in
Hesychius, with the addition of "which is also called Xanthos [
Myth,
Place]" (cf.
Homer,
Iliad 20.74).
[2] Same gloss in the
Synagoge and
Photius'
Lexicon. This adjective in the accusative plural must be quoted from somewhere, but is otherwise unattested in this form. (Note however
*skamandri/ous, twice in
Euripides'
Trojan Women.)
