Notes

The headword kalopodion is a neuter noun attested as a rare variant for feminine kalopous (kappa 201): see e.g. Etymologicum Magnum 510.45-47, and (as LSJ notes) a variant reading in Galen, Thrasybulus (vol.5.890.12 Kuehn). For kalo/pous (also written kala-) see e.g. Plato, Symposium 191A; Pollux 2.195; Etym. Magn. 486.6.
