Lexica Segueriana 228.16; and cf. a scholion on
Homer,
Odyssey 2.319 (where the headword occurs: web address 1), as well as
Hesychius epsilon4527. Similar too, but less so, are
Hesychius epsilon4526,
Lexica Segueriana 252.21, and (post-Suda)
Etymologicum Magnum 357.16.

Argonautica 2.1280, 4.1380).
