Notes (2)

  1. 1This gloss (cf. under alpha 133) perhaps reflects the phrase kalh\ *kassie/peia in Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 14.632F [14.32 Kaibel] (quoting Homer, Iliad 8.305, but with this name where the mss of Homer have Kastianeira). ↩
  2. 2Best-attested as that of the constellation Cassiopeia (sic).
    See also kappa 455.
