Procopius,
History of the Wars of Justinian 8.18.18 (web address 1); cf.
kappa 2197 and Kaldellis (503). The emperor Justinian (cf.
iota 446) in 551 CE reproaches the Utigur Huns (Turkic equestrian nomads living east of the Sea of Azov) for remaining idle as the Cutriguri (Kutrigurs, Cotrigurs; related to the Utigurs, but living west of the Sea of Azov) pillaged the Danube River frontier. See also
kappa 547 and
pi 2797.
[2]
Aristophanes,
Clouds 1007 (web address 2 below); cf. already
alpha 774 and again
mu 1058. What now follows comes from the
scholia on this line: see next note.
[3] The present headword as a botanical name is duly registered by LSJ s.v., IV, but
Aristophanes of
Byzantium (the authority for the scholiasts and
Hesychius here) probably got this wrong; see Dover's edition ad loc.
