*di/skos: o( so/los.

See also sigma 775 (and cf. delta 1268).
LSJ s.v. so/los notes that scholia to Homer, Iliad 2.774 (web address 1) and 23.826 (web address 2) distinguish the so/los from the di/skos "but not clearly," while in Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 3.1366 (web address 3), so/los seems to equal di/skos.
