Notes:
[1] In Ithaca: see
Homer,
Iliad 2.632,
Odyssey 9.22.
[2] Hesiod,
Works and Days 511: countless, from privative
nh- and a *
r(i- verb underlying
a)riqmo/s "number",
ei)kosinh/ritos "twentyfold" (Frisk). This definition is given in two variants in the
scholia to Hesiod, one with
e)ri/soi and the other with the equivalent
filonikh/seien. The latter is also in the
Etymologicum Magnum. The Suda's wording seems to propose its own etymology, "un-contended".
[3] Nerikos (the Suda gets the gender wrong):
Homer,
Odyssey 24.377. The identification is made in the
scholia ad loc., but in fact Nerikos was the citadel of the island of Leucas: see also
Thucydides 3.7.4,
Strabo 10.2.8,
Stephanus of
Byzantium s.v.
