Notes (1)

The phraseology of the entry might, if pressed, suggest that the epigram is a second instance of the (neuter plural) headword; no such thing is independently extant, however. (Compare in any event delta 1640; a stylistic trait, it seems, of the scholar responsible for this section of the Suda.)
