Notes: 
[1] Same glossing in 
Photius and other lexica; the headword participle must be quoted from somewhere. On this verb -- usually (from 
Homer, 
Odyssey, onwards) 
bussodomeu/w, of which the lexicographers' 
bussodome/w is a variant -- see generally LSJ s.v. Despite the remainder of the present entry, it is related not to 
bu/ssos "flax/linen" (cf. 
beta 596) but to 
busso/s "depth" (cf. 
beta 598).
