Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica (see the references at
Photius lambda102 Theodoridis) and in a scholion on
Homer,
Iliad 18.413.
[2] The lexicographer, having found a passage to illustrate his headword, dealt with the rest negligently. The passage is -- or turns into, after the slapdash introductory phrase -- a confused memory or miscopying of
Cassius Dio 65.18.2. The historian is recounting the approach on Rome (in 69 CE, the Year of the Four Emperors) of Quintus Petillius Cerealis -- here '
Cerealius' (cf.
kappa 1395) -- and Antonus Primus, who had spies smuggling messages to them in items being shipped into the city.
