Greek display:    
Headword: *magga/na
Adler number: mu,2
Translated headword: wine-cask
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Note] that Italians call the wine-container made of wood a magga/na. See under gau=los.[1]
Greek Original:
*magga/na: o(/ti to\ oi)nhro\n a)ggei=on e)k cu/lwn kateskeuasme/non magga/nan *)italoi\ o)noma/zousin. zh/tei e)n tw=| gau=los.
Notes:
Entry lacking, Adler reports, in mss AF; appears as marginalia to mss AM; placed after mu 10 in ms V.
[1] gamma 73, whence the current entry seems to be drawn. (This cross-reference is absent from the marginalia of mss AV.) This meaning for the word is otherwise unattested. Elsewhere it means 'magic charm', 'catapult' or, as a proper name, the name of a building in Constantinople.
Keywords: agriculture; botany; daily life; definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; food; geography; trade and manufacture
