Note:
From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Peace 595, where the word
xi=dra occurs. The form of the present headword,
xi/dran, is due to a corruption which mistakes the common plural of the neuter noun
xi=dron for a singular feminine noun,
xi/dra; see LSJ s.v.
xi=dron at web address 1 below. See also
chi 298,
chi 299, and
chi 301 for more on "groats".
