[1] On the
lh/kuqon ('flask') cf.
lambda 438.
Hesychius defines the
e)ca/leiptron as a
fia/lh| paraplh/sion ('similar to a
phiale'). A
phiale is generally a more open-shaped vessel, whereas the term used by the Suda,
lh/kuqon ('flask'), is a closed shape, though there is much variation in the usage of these terms.

alpha 1051.
[3] Same subordinate clause in
Hesychius (above).
