Notes
- The headword is nominative plural of
i)/u+gc : iota 759, iota 760, iota 761.
Same (opaque) glosses in other lexica. The second one perhaps relates to the magical functions of the iynx. As to the first, Theodoridis (on Photius iota272) cites Pollux 2.180 & 205 and other evidence for his theory that it actually relates to the terminology ofsu/rigges (sigma 1664).
