[1] The wording of this is similar to
Lexica Segueriana 216.19 Bachmann, although there the lexicographer specifies that the specification 'lasts a long time' pertains to contemporary usage. The headword itself first occurs at
Homer,
Iliad 4.190, and 'wound' is the gloss of the D
scholia there.
[2] Similar etymologies are offered by, e.g.
Etymologicum Magnum 120.38,
Etymologicum Gudianum epsilon458.
[3] Ascribed to
Aelian (fr. 249 Hercher, 247 Domingo-Forasté) and quoted again at
epsilon 1597, with slightly different wording and, more importantly, 'her whole body' standing in place of 'his whole body'. Hercher emended
e(lkw=n ('wounds') to
eu)lw=n ('worms'), apparently on the basis of
Herodotos 4.205 (web address 1); there it is a woman, queen Pheretime (
epsilon 1006,
epsilon 3559,
phi 220), who suffers the affliction in question.
