Notes

cf. scholion on Homer, Iliad 2.729, where the headword (an adjective in the feminine accusative singular) is a variant reading for klwmako/essan "rocky" as an epithet of Ithome (web address 1). This variant occurs in Pausanias' quotation of the Iliad passage, in Nonnus' Dionysiaca 18.56, and in the Etymologicum Magnum s.v. *iqw/mh.
