Notes
- Other lexica give fuller entries than this on both the noun kassoris and the cognate verb kassoreuein -- both, in fact, more properly spelled with single sigma. Both occur in Lykophron; and see also Stephanus of Byzantium s.v. kasorion ("brothel"), quoting Aristophanes, Knights 1285 (kappa 450).
