Notes:
[1] Both the headword and the gloss are neuter plurals. (Their conjunction is repeated, with the headword in a slightly different form, at
epsiloniota 197, q.v.) The former is presumably quoted from somewhere; the latter word is more usually masculine, as in the second part of the entry. The distinction between an
erion and a
mallos is hard to reproduce in translation.
[2] From
delta 680 (
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Lysistrata 578).
