Translation

Name of a city.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Λαιστρυγόνος· ὄνομα πόλεως.

Betacode
*laistrugo/nos: o)/noma po/lews. 

Notes

  1. Here in the genitive case, *laistrugo/nos. However, this is evidently quoted from Homer, Odyssey 10.106 and/or 199, where we see what this genitive really is: 'daughter of Antiphates the Laistrygon'. (Adler's note suggests, following Cohn, that -- as in ps.-Zonaras -- the present headword should actually be Laitrina, in Elis.)
    cf. generally lambda 203 and the note there.
