[1] The headword, with broadly similar glossing in Hesychius and other lexica, is the accusative singular of kappa 1051 (where however the noun has a completely different meaning). It might be extracted from the quotation given, or equally well from Oppian, Halieutica 4.116; cf. the scholia there.
[2] An approximation (and abbreviation) of Greek Anthology 6.217.1-2, attributed to Simonides. The next two verses are quoted at alpha 3019. Find further extracts from this epigram at beta 473, epsilon 1196, eta 482, lambda 147, and omicron 541.
