Notes
- The name of an old (Roman) woman, who inappropriately lusted after a slave, in an anecdote told by Aelian, On the Nature of Animals 7.15. See also the paroemiographer Apostolius (7.5), who spells the name Lainila (something which in ps-Zonaras and Gennadius Scholarius, however, is said to be the name of an island).
