Notes:
A somewhat degraded version of material already in
Zenobius 3.63 (from
Aristophanes of
Byzantium) and
Hesychius epsilon3230; see also e.g.
Pausanias the Atticist fr. 167 (in
Eustathius);
Photius,
Lexicon epsilon997 (cf. 996) Theodoridis;
Etymologicum Magnum 344.39-40. First, the verb in the proverb itself is apparently not
e)koimh/qh but
eu)na/sw, "I will put [you] to bed". Also, the first element of the present gloss should be "Some say that Holmos [was] a seer". See further, next note.
[1] For the various senses of
o(/lmos see LSJ s.v.; the one relevant to the present entry is II.3 there.
[2] cf.
omicron 181,
theta 281.
