And look in the [entry] 'Manaim'.[2]
Greek Original:*xei=res xalkai=: e)n toi=s *)amastrianoi=s. kai\ zh/tei e)n tw=| *manai/+m.
Notes:
To judge from
mu 131 (the cross-reference given) the headword phrase refers to a monumental sculpture in Constantinople. See further, next note.
[1] Adler reports that one ms (F = Laurentianus 55.1) reads
*)amastri/si for
*)amastrianoi=s. Be that as it may, for the Amastrians (of the S. Black Sea coast) see e.g.
Strabo 12.3.1-10; Barrington Atlas map 86 grid C2. Their relevance here is because of the public square in Constantinople known as the Amastrianon/Amastrianum.
