Notes:
[1] On the headword

scholia to
Homer,
Iliad 8.441.
[2]
Greek Anthology 6.332.3-4 (Hadrian): but read genitive
ou)/rou for the Suda's
ou)=ron (again at
omicron 955) and, more important,
de/pa ("cups") for the Suda's
li=ta. On this epigram, Trajan's dedication to Zeus, see Page (561-563) and its further extracts at
epsilon 1586,
kappa 454, and
kappa 2391. As Page notes (562), the emendation to
de/pa was given by Salmasius (Claude de Saumaise, 1588-1653) and based upon the Suda's description of the dedicated items at
kappa 454. On the urus (aurochs), see Caesar
Gallic War 6.28 (web address 1).
