Notes:
[1] The headword is in the accusative case, evidently quoted from somewhere (probably Hesiod: see next note). Same or similar glosses in other lexica; references at
Photius upsilon122 Theodoridis.
[2] Actually there is a distinction between the titan Hyperion (see Hesiod,
Theogony 134 [web address 1] and
Diodorus Siculus 5.67) and his son Helios, i.e. the Sun. For 'Hyperionides' see e.g.
Homer,
Odyssey 12.176 (web address 2).
