Notes
- Same entry in ps.-Zonaras; similar one, for the adjective, already in Hesychius. This is sense II of
a)stagh/s (from sigma 980) registered by LSJ s.v.; other instances in Apollonius Rhodius and Nicander.
The headword phrase is from Callimachus, Hecale fr. 317 Pfeiffer, and the gloss from the scholia there.
