Homer,
Iliad 3.13; see the
scholia there.
[2]
Aristophanes,
Lysistrata 982 (a term applied to the Spartan herald who has just arrived: "what are you, man or
konisalos?"). The etymological derivation is cited from the
scholia there.
[3] Antimachus fr. 39 Wyss. The term is cited by Herodian several times (e.g.
De prosodia catholica p. 114 Lentz) and
Hesychius. Note that its accent is mistakenly normalised as
konisale/os in LSJ; the word's exceptional accentuation is noted in
rho 242.
