Notes:
[1] Very similar glossing in other lexica (see the references at
Photius iota72 Theodoridis), though the earlier ones do not have 'child'. See also (e.g.) glosses on
Herodotus 6.53 and on
Homer,
Odyssey 14.203; and cf.
iota 235.

Etymologicum Magnum 470.1 and other lexica.

Agathias,
Histories 1.20, the Gothic military leader Aligern (cf.
alpha 1215 and
omicron 966) reflects on the consequences of surrendering the city of
Cumae (present-day Cuma, in central-west Italy) to the Byzantine general Narses (see generally
nu 42); cf. Frendo (28). The time frame is probably late 553 CE, during the Gothic War of 535-554.
