An ornament of the helmet.
*fa/la: ko/smos th=s perikefalai/as.
The headword, variously accentuated
fa/la (as here) and
fala/, is unattested outside lexicography; Theodoridis on
Photius phi28 obelizes it.
Most lexica have this glossing phrase (with the
Etymologicum Magnum deriving the headword from
fa/w 'shine'), except
Hesychius:
h( mikra\ ka/ra 'a small head'.
