Notes:
The inital glosses follows Photius, Lexicon kappa665 Theodoridis, but the quotations are additions. Similar glossing in other lexica and in Aristophanic scholia
[1] Aristophanes, Wasps 755; LSJ s.v. II.2; see also kappa 1518.
[2] i.e. a muzzle (LSJ s.v. I.1, kappa 1519), or nose-bag (LSJ s.v. I.2).
[3] LSJ s.v. III; also Hesychius s.v.
[4] Distortion of au)lwto\s fimo/s, Aeschylus fr. 44.A.647 Mette, a muzzle with pipes attached: "who had four yoke-bearing colts, muzzled with piping muzzles". Defined as a khmo/s in Pausanias the Atticist *)attikw=n o)noma/twn sunagwgh/ and Hesychius s.v. au)lwtoi\ fimoi/: "piping muzzles: muzzles [khmoi/]; because bells are attached to the muzzles, and when the horses blow into them, they produced a sound like a trumpet."
[5] Greek Anthology 6.233.1-2 (Maikios/Maecius), dedication of various items associated with a horse (halter, muzzle, and kneebands) to Poseidon; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 282-283) and further excerpts from this epigram at gamma 373, mu 266, mu 1430, and psi 66. As Gow and Page note (vol. II, 314-315), a)mfi/trhton readily suggests a muzzle pierced on both sides to facilitate the attachment of straps; instead, they consider it more likely that here the muzzle is as thoroughly pierced as a colander, as described by Anderson (43). The Suda here follows the Anthologia Palatina in transmitting u(peikta/n (feminine accusative singular, Doric spelling, "for yielding"). Gow and Page (vol. I, 282-283) adopt Bernhardy's emendation, u(peirkta/n or u(perkta/n: "the pierced constraining muzzle".
[6] Adler (apparatus) labelled this final item faulty. In fact it summarises Polybius 21.7.1-4, esp. 2: see pi 3252.
