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.
