[1] The headword, genitive plural, has the same glossing in other lexica. It must be quoted from somewhere (other than the quotation given, which has a neuter singular); there are numerous possibilities, extant from

Polybius (as his fr. 120), and Adler suggested
Aelian -- but now assigned by A. Favuzzi to book 30 of
Diodorus Siculus: see at
alpha 3680, and cf.
