Notes:
[1] The headword is accusative plural of
ka/xrus (presumably from the quotation given); cf.
kappa 12,
kappa 1155,
kappa 2753. The equivalence twice given here between it and
krithai is unexceptionable enough, though strictly speaking the headword describes barleycorns when they have dried for purposes of preservation.
