Notes:
This entry draws on the
scholia (e cod. Genevensi gr. 44; see below) to
Homer,
Iliad 1.12 (web address 1); cf. same or similar entries in
Hesychius,
Photius, and elsewhere; and see
Etymologicum Magnum s.v.
qoh/.
[1] cf.
theta 404.
[2] No Homeric line corresponds exactly to this quotation. The present translator suggests
Iliad 17.708 (web address 2), reading
me\n dh\ instead of
e)n d’ au)= and, more significantly
nhusi\n ("ships") instead of
nh/soisin ("islands"). Adler, however, pointed to
Odyssey 15.299:
e)/nqen d' au)= nh/soisin e)piproe/hke qoh|=sin.
