Translation
[Meaning] a worm in the vines; a kind of many-footed animal. And the blooming of what is on the cheeks, and the blossom on the nut-tree, and a kind of song, and one who is beloved to Artemis. But some call the many-footed [creature] which occurs and gathers on water-pitchers i)/oulos .1
In the Epigrams: "shaving the timely-blooming down below his temples, harbinger of a man's chin, Lycon dedicated to Apollo his first gift."2

Ἴουλος· ὁ ἐν ταῖς ἀμπέλοις σκώληξ· πολύπουν δέ τι ζῷον. καὶ τὸ ἐξάνθημα τὸ ἐπὶ τῶν γενείων, καὶ τὸ ἐπὶ ταῖς καρύαις ἄνθος, καὶ ᾠδῆς τι γένος ἴουλος, καὶ ὁ προσφιλὴς τῇ Ἀρτέμιδι. ἔνιοι δὲ καὶ τὸν ἐπὶ ταῖς ὑδρίαις γινόμενον πολύποδα καὶ συστρεφόμενον ἴουλον καλοῦσιν. ἐν Ἐπιγράμμασι· ὥριον ἀνθήσαντας ὑπὸ κροτάφοισιν ἰούλους κειράμενος, γενύων ἄρσενος ἀγγελίας, Φοίβῳ θῆκε Λύκων πρῶτον γέρας.
