Notes:
Likewise or similarly in other lexica; see the references at
Photius kappa1232 Theodoridis. The material comes in part from the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Birds 487 (see already under
kappa 2741) and in part from glosses on
Herodotus 7.64 (web address 1). See also under
kappa 2744 and
pi 1602. The word is probably of Persian origin: see bibliography.
[1] The particle
me/n in most of the manuscripts suggests a 'some...others...' construction (though ms M omits it).
