Notes
- The headword occurs only here and, earlier, in Hesychius (gamma268), but is differently understood by each lexicographer. Hesychius evidently takes the headword to be the accusative case of a masculine noun
geioko/mos , meaning "one who cultivates land" (as it ought to, considering the paroxytone accentuation). The Suda's neuter singular glossgeitni/ama belongs with a later entry,geito/nhma , in Hesychius. This looks like a slip on the Suda's part.
