Notes:
For this noun in the singular (and in another sense) see already
sigma 302.
[1] Likewise in the
Synagoge (sigma57) and
Photius'
Lexicon (sigma165 Theodoridis); and similarly in

Homeric Lexicon, and various Homeric
scholia. The etymology is far-fetched.
[2] There is no entry for
sthko/s either in LSJ or in other modern Ancient Greek Lexica; the word has been invented for the sake of the etymology. The same equivalence and etymology are given in two Homeric
scholia, to
Iliad 8.131 (noted by Adler) and to
Odyssey 4.612; also by the
Etymologicum Gudianum (499.16 Sturz), the
Etymologicum Magnum (710. 53) and the
Lexicon of ps.-
Zonaras (1638.2 Tittmann) s.v.
