Notes:
[1] Same headword (accusative case) and glosses in other lexica, and cf. the
scholia to
Homer,
Iliad 2.359, where it occurs. For this word see also under
epsilon 861,
mu 1169.
[2] Quotation unidentifiable. (Adler boldly asserts '
Aelian', on no discernible basis.) On the remark itself, note the opposite at
kappa 1069.
