Notes
- The headword is the epic and Ionic form of
a)/platos (see LSJ at web address 1), here in the masculine accusative singular or neuter nominative/accusative singular. Different glossing in Hesychius, but the same in the scholia to Hesiod, Theogony 315, from where it must be quoted (neuter, used adverbially).
This glossing implies a relation topi/mplhmi "fill" rather than topela/zw "approach."
