Notes
- The headword noun occurs in fragments of Sappho (fr.183 Lobel-Page) and Alcaeus (fr.412 Lobel-Page) and is glossed as 'sinking below' (
ka/tw r(e/pwn ). The present gloss is presumably a misunderstanding of earlier lexicographic comment (e.g. Theognostus) where another word with the same -ores suffix is glossed as a proper name: Diores.
