Notes:
[1] Same glossing in
Photius and other lexica; the headword participle must be quoted from somewhere. On this verb -- usually (from
Homer,
Odyssey, onwards)
bussodomeu/w, of which the lexicographers'
bussodome/w is a variant -- see generally LSJ s.v. Despite the remainder of the present entry, it is related not to
bu/ssos "flax/linen" (cf.
beta 596) but to
busso/s "depth" (cf.
beta 598).
