Crates fr.12 Kock (14 K.-A.), quoted several times in lexicography (e.g.
Pollux 10.90,
Photius omicron172 Theodoridis). The Suda's version not only omits a crucial negative from the gloss, as indicated, but corrupts the second noun in the headword phrase itself, from
koi/ths ('bed') to
tu/xhs ('luck', not translated here).
