Notes
- The headword is a superlative form of the adjective
kuano/s . This form of it, the nominative singular masculine, is attested nowhere else, but might simply be paradigmatic. All other extant forms are confined to Philostratus' Life of Apollonius of Tyana (and the epitome of it in Photius' Library) and the Imagines by him or a namesake.
For the glossing cf. kappa 2580, kappa 2581.
