Notes

Same or similar entry in other lexica; see the references at Photius kappa1004 Theodoridis. The plural gloss reflects the fact that the neuter headword, here singular, is dative plural at its appearance in Aristophanes, Knights 49: Kleon (kappa 1731) the tanner offers these to his master Demos; see kappa 2138.
