[1] Up to this point the entry = Etymologicum Magnum 333.40, with the exception that the EM identifies the headword as a receptacle for a bow, rather than a spear. Aristophanes, Acharnians 1120, however, employs it for the covering of a spear (web address 1), and the scholia to that passage may be one of the ultimate sources for this entry. Hesychius epsilon2241 employs many of the same glosses in a different order ("...receptacle...wrap, covering..."), but in place of 'spread' (e)kpe/tasma) he has "cover" (ske/pasma), of which "spread" (here and in EM and in Lexica Segueriana 217.1) is perhaps a misreading (cf. Glossae in Herodotum 1.52, on Herodotus 1.185.4). Other lexica and grammars gloss this headword with "covering" (ka/lumma): ps.-Herodian 31 and (according to Adler) the unedited Lexicon of codex Laurentianus 59.16 (cf. Lexicon Gudianum chi572). Adler also cites Etymologicum Genuinum as a comparandum, but there is no similar entry there. Perhaps this is a mistake for Lexicon Gudianum.
[2] Likewise, according to Adler, in the unedited Ambrosian Lexicon (692), and similarly in ps.-Zonaras (kuri/ws de\ ta\ o)/straka tw=n o)strakode/rmwn). Otherwise this definition is absent from other lexica. Although it is not registered in LSJ s.v. (web address 2), this meaning is attested in Philostratus, Life of Apollonius of Tyana 3.57.
