From a scholion on Homer, Iliad 14.413, where the headword occurs in a simile (web address 1). On playing with tops, see beta 236.
[1] Here the gloss is at least as interesting as the headword: see rho 221, rho 222, rho 223, and generally LSJ s.v. Of its several meanings, the two of relevance are the first two given there: 'bull-roarer, instrument whirled round on the end of a string, used in the mysteries' (e.g. Euripides, Helen 1362, and as a toy in Greek Anthology 6.309); 'magic wheel, spun alternately in each direction by the torsion of two cords passed through two holes in it, used as a love-charm' (e.g. Lucian, Dialogues of the Courtesans 4.5, and see iota 761).
