Notes (1)

Same entry in ps.-Zonaras, and see also Hesychius s.v. a)lecia/rhs, glossed as e)pi/kouros, a)lecika/kos. Latte regards that entry as prompted by Hesiod, Works and Days 464 (where fallow land, neio/s [nu 291], is called a)lecia/rh); and the same is surely true of the present one.
1She, grammatically speaking.
