Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἀμίς· τὸ κλοκίον.

*)ami/s: to\ kloki/on.
Notes
- Likewise, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (1495).
For the headword see already alpha 1590; LSJ entry at web address 1. Philokleon famously asks for one of these in Aristophanes, Wasps 935.
The present glossing term,klo/kion , belongs to later Greek.
