*)/elinos karpo/s.
Adler refers to the unedited
Ambrosian Lexicon (551) as a comparandum.
Apparently the headword is a variant of what is more commonly encountered as
e(/linos, i.e. with a rough breathing. Perhaps quoted from
Oppian,
Cynegetica 4.262. In any event it means properly 'vine' or 'tendril' (cognate with the verb
e)li/ssw:
epsilon 871,
epsilon 872) but can stand
pars pro toto for the grape plant. It appears with a smooth breathing, and expressly in this sense, in the text of
Eustathius,
Commentary on Diogenes the Periegete 1153.11, 43, and with a smooth breathing and oxytone accent in
Etymologicum Magnum 330.40.
[1] In fact Adler's punctuation suggests that she took this entry not as headword plus gloss but as a two-word phrase.
