Notes:
Similar material in other lexica -- but this is the most dubious of the Suda's trio of entries on this topic: see
epsilon 3877 and
epsilon 3878 (with the bibliography there); also
epsilon 3865,
epsilon 3866.
[1] So the transmitted text (with no mss variants reported by Adler), but there is no numeral here:
p o)/ntes should be
periio/ntes, 'travelling around'.
[2] Literally 'blood',
eph' haimati.
