Notes:
[1] Likewise in
Hesychius; similarly in Apollonius'
Homeric Lexicon and elsewhere. The headword is nominative plural of the noun
xlou/nhs. It is evidently quoted from somewhere, but the gloss does not fit the obvious place (Hesiod,
Shield of Heracles 177, on boars).
[2] The word
xlou/nhs is often used as an epithet of the wild boar (presumably referring to the location of his lair). See also the
scholia to
Homer,
Iliad 9.539 (web address 1), where
xlou/nhn, the accusative singular of the headword, appears.

Aelian fr. 10b Domingo-Forasté (10 Hercher); see already
gamma 504,
delta 6,
epsilon 512 and
epsilon 3604 which quote parts of this passage.
