*(hmima/llones: maina/des, nu/mfai, h)\ ba/kxai.
Notes
- See also Hesychius (eta500) and Photius (Lexicon eta164) -- both presenting as headword not the Suda's single word
h(mima/llones but the two-word phrase (presumably quoted from somewhere)h)\ *Mima/llones . The initial eta is thus a mistake: cf. kappa 1829 and mu 1072.
