Notes (1)
- The two unglossed primary headwords are a neuter singular and a nominative plural,
a)mfw=es (probably from Theocritus, Idylls 1.28 -- cf. Orion [Author, Myth] s.v.a)mfwreu/s ) anda)mfwti/des . The genitive plurala)mfwti/dwn is presumably extracted from the proverb quoted, though the Suda's glossing seems uncomprehending. - 1Again at mu 826. For ear-muffs, worn especially by boxers, see LSJ s.v. ↩
