Herodotus 1.171 the word is neuter
o)/xanon (plural
o)/xana). Shield-grips were allegedly invented by the Carians.
[2]
Sophocles fr. 611 (672 Radt); cf.
Hesychius omicron2055 and
Photius,
Lexicon omicron725 Theodoridis. The noun

Photius omicron726 Theodoridis), and in a gloss on
Herodotus 2.141.5, where
ta\ o)/xana occurs. (The dative plural must be quoted from somewhere else.)
