Notes:
See more fully under
theta 58, stemming from ancient comment on
Aristophanes,
Acharnians line 671, where a celebratory meal including a Thasian dish is being prepared. The present entry (repeated in ps.-
Zonaras) misunderstands the point that the headword is, or might be, a food item -- brine-soup -- and conjures a woman's name out of the (lower-case) phrase
zwmo\n a(/lmhs. Relevant LSJ entries at web addresses 1-4.
For the N.-Aegean island of
Thasos, see generally OCD(4) s.v. (p.1449).
