Notes
- Likewise or similarly in other lexica, including Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon, and cf. the scholia to Homer, Iliad 1.462, where the headword occurs (of wine).
Other forms of this adjective appear at alphaiota 132 and alphaiota 133. See also alphaiota 129, where "Ethiopian" is glossed as "black."
