pi/dac.
[1] Same or similar glossing in other lexica (references at
Photius pi871 Theodoridis), and cf. the
scholia to
Homer,
Iliad 16.825, where the genitive singular
pi/dakos occurs. See also
pi 1553.

Greek Anthology 6.22.3 (
Zonas), a dedication to Priapus by an unnamed custodian of an orchard; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 380-381; and vol. II, 413-414) and further extracts from this epigram at
alpha 380,
alpha 2663,
alpha 4049,
pi 2275, and
rho 318. Gow and Page suggest (vol. I, 380) that the puzzling Suda entry
pi 1554 (
pidaki/wn) relates to
mequpi/daka,
wine-fountained, in this passage; cf. Trapp, s.v.
pida/kion.
