Same or similar entry elsewhere (see the references in
Photius mu544 Theodoridis), beginning with
Hesychius mu1704, where Latte claims the headword as coming from
Callimachus (
Aetia fr.43.69 Pfeiffer; accusative plural there, nominative here). But alternatives should not be ignored, notably Apollonius Rhodius,
Argonautica 2.381A-B; and see generally
Xenophon,
Anabasis 5.4.1ff, on the campaign of the Ten Thousand against the barbarous Mossynoikoi ("Towerdwellers") of the Black Sea (text at web address 1).
