Notes

The headword, a feminine noun, is accusative plural in its only non-lexicographical attestation (Antimachus of Colophon fr. 889), and is glossed as such in Hesychius kappa3224, Etymologicum Gudianum 535.51, Etymologicum Magnum 770.11. Here it is glossed as nominative singular, as in ps.-Herodian, Epimerismi 74.5; cf. Theognostus 121, Choeroboscus De accentibus 4.16.
