Notes
- Stephanus of Byzantium s.v., from which this entry derives, classifies it (doubtless more accurately) as a "village" (
kw/mh ).
This entry and the two preceding it nu 30 and nu 31 (both of which are also derived from Stephanus), are not present in mss AFV but are written as marginalia in ms M.
For Skythia cf. generally sigma 703, sigma 704. The location of Napis is unknown.
