Notes:
For this nominative plural headword see already
chi 590. The present entry stems from a confusion between two Greek words which differ only in their initial consonant, choinix and (what it should be) phoinix; cf. under
phi 798.
[1] The glossing phrase is taken from the quotation given.

Synesius,
Dio 9 (PG.66.1137a). For Amous and Antonios see
alpha 1632.
