Notes (3)

[1] In NE Lakonia, Greece. 'Anthine' here; more authentically Anthene in the immediate source, Harpokration s.v., commenting on Lysias fr. 31 Sauppe (now 36 Carey OCT).
2For the various senses of e)pwmi/s (all stemming from its basic meaning 'shoulder') see LSJ s.v., and under epsilon 2838. Which one is intended in the present entry is not self-evident, but a (?)'flowered' garment (or component thereof) seems more plausible than part of the anatomy. ↩
3cf. already alpha 2503. ↩
4The phrase (also in the Ambrosian Lexicon, according to Adler) is presumably quoted from somewhere. (For "flowery" clothes see LSJ s.v. a)/nqinos.) The appended words kai\ h( trofh/ are unintelligible, and perhaps textually corrupt.
