[1] The knh=stis is also called a knife in Eustathius, Commentary on the Iliad 11.150, 11.640; Herodian, Partitions p. 68 Boissonade; the Etymologicum Magnum and Etymologicum Gudianum s.v. knh= turo/n; scholia to Euripides, Alcestis 109; scholia to Oppian, Halieutica 2.429. Still, it is likelier that the word is misunderstood: Eustathius, the Etymologicum Gudianum, and the scholiast to Oppian all derive knh=stis correctly from kna/w, but gloss kna/w as ko/ptw "cut". Hesychius has it both ways: "an iron chopper. A scraper, with which cheese is scraped."

[3] Greek Anthology 6.305.5-6 (Leonidas of Tarentum), a fictional dedication of cooking tools by a glutton named Dorieus; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 125), (vol. II, 364-366), and further excerpts from this epigram at epsilon 3325 and tau 799. The adjective eu)xa/lkwtos (well-wrought in brass, here in the accusative singular) is not elsewhere attested; cf. LSJ s.v. and Gow and Page (vol. II, 365). Gow and Page note (vol. I, 125) that the Anthologia Palatina (AP) here reads pura/gran (pair of fire tongs, accusative singular of pura/gra). However, Gow and Page follow (ibid.) the AP scribe designated C (the Corrector) and the Suda in reading krea/gran (flesh-hook; cf. LSJ s.v. krea/gra), a kitchen implement far more likely to be well-curved.
