[1] Although this gloss makes sense etymologically, this meaning is unattested elsewhere for the word. Contrast Xenophon, Kynegetikos [On Hunting] 2.9 (web address 1); Pollux 5.31, 10.64; Pausanias the Atticist kappa57 (= Hesychius kappa4618); Photius, Lexicon kappa1222 Theodoridis.
[2] Greek Anthology 6.298.3 (Leonidas of Tarentum); Sochares the Cynic dies, and Hunger hangs his simple possessions on a tamarisk bush as a dedication; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 125), (vol. II, 363-364), and further extracts from this epigram at sigma 558 and sigma 1062. Adopting the conventional sense of kunou=xos (purse, money-bag; cf. previous note), here Paton (459) translates "a dog-skin purse without a copper in it". Gow and Page note that the Suda lexicographer could well blunder with this entry, since Cynics have no need for dogs or collars (vol. II, 364). However, they allow it to be possible that Leonidas might indeed have been conscious of the object as a kind of Cynic-protector, something that Sochares would carry as symbolic of his asceticism (ibid.).
