Notes:
From the scholia to Aristophanes, Clouds 985, where the headword occurs. See also beta 474.
[1] beta 474 has a different word, popanon rather than pelanos, but either means a cereal-based cake or pottage offered to the gods. See generally pi 927, pi 928, pi 2051.
[2] For the Diipoleia see delta 1045.
