Notes

  1. Likewise or similarly in other lexica; and cf. the entry for "oyster-greens" (bru/a) in Photius beta289 Theodoridis, which glosses them as "sea's seaweeds" (fuki/a qala/sshs).
    LSJ (web address 1) identifies bru/a (singular: bru/on) with Ulva lactuca (web address 2); cf. phi 817, phi 818.
