Notes
- Same entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (665). 'Kerkullura' in Suda ms V, she reports; but either way, not otherwise attested as a place-name. Rather, other lexica cite
kerkolu/ra in Alcman [alpha 1289] fr.142 Bergk as a variant ofkrekolu/ra , a single-word equivalent of a krekousa lyra "sharp-sounding lyre". See on this LSJ s.v. (web address 1).
