Notes
- Also in Photius. The headword, otherwise unattested, is ignored by LSJ.
The glossstapi/da (also in Photius s.v., but obelized there by Theodoridis), here translated "raisin[s]" is evidently equivalent toa)stafi/da , accusative ofa)stafi/s (alpha 4223): 'dried grapes, raisins', LSJ. (Post-Suda,stapi/s in the sense ofa)stafi/s occurs in the 11th.-century ecclesiastical writer Nikon of the Black Mountain.)
