Notes:
[1] On the headword, a masculine noun (again
pi 2182), see generally LSJ s.v.
pw=ros. This sense of it corresponds to LSJ's no.4,
stalactite, for which
Aristotle (
Meteorologica 388b26) is cited there; and cf. ps.-Herodian 113.
[2] See generally LSJ s.v.
pwro/w.
[3] George of
Pisidia,
Heraclias 3 fr. 22.
[4]
Theophrastus and
Pliny describe
pw/rinos li/qos as a kind of marble used in building (= the primary sense in LSJ s.v.
pw=ros).
