Notes

Same or similar entry in other lexica; see the references at Photius kappa576 Theodoridis. The headword -- aorist passive participle, masculine nominative singular, of the verb kepfo/w -- is extracted from Proverbs 7:22 LXX (which is the first attestation of this verb derived from ke/pfos, a type of petrel: kappa 1347.)
The Suda also uses the form kepfwqei/s as a gloss in upsilon 747.
