Notes (3)
- 1Not otherwise attested as such, and not readily identifiable. However, Adler reports that one ms (F) has 'of a place' rather than 'of a river', and anyway according to Ptolemy 6.12.4 there was a tribe called the Kirradaieis living along the Oxus, with a (perhaps related) people of the Himalayas whose name was variously rendered: Chirotosagi, Kirradai, Cirrabe-Indi, Kirradia, Korouda, Piladai, Sciratae, Thalutae. (See Barrington Atlas map 6 grid F4.) ↩
- 2A Cypriot epithet of Adonis (alpha 514, alpha 515, alpha 516, alpha 517) according to Etymologicum Magnum 515.16-17. ↩
- 3A sea-fish, probably a species of wrasse; see LSJ s.v. (Already, under another spelling, at kappa 1397.) ↩
