[1] From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Plutus [
Wealth] 293, i.e. the line before the one quoted as the headword to the next entry,
kappa 1627 (q.v.). In the scholion the term 'dog-feed' is accented on the ultima,
kunobora/; so also in LSJ. The word is unattested outside lexica,
scholia, and philology (
Tzetzes), and should be considered fictional as a word of Greek, invented to serve as an etymology.
[2] The only ancient literary use of the headword
kina/bra is four times in Lucian, including
Dialogues of the Sea-Gods 1.5: "and he's like the Cyclops, stinking of
kinabra like a he-goat". The definition of
kina/bra as the stench of both human armpits and goats is given in
Pollux 2.77;
Phrynichus,
Preparatio Sophistica p. 60 de Borries proscribes its application to humans.
