- 1In Ithaca: see Homer, Iliad 2.632, Odyssey 9.22. ↩
- 2Hesiod, Works and Days 511: countless, from privative
nh- and a *r(i- verb underlyinga)riqmo/s "number",ei)kosinh/ritos "twentyfold" (Frisk). This definition is given in two variants in the scholia to Hesiod, one withe)ri/soi and the other with the equivalentfilonikh/seien . The latter is also in the Etymologicum Magnum. The Suda's wording seems to propose its own etymology, "un-contended". ↩ - 3Nerikos (the Suda gets the gender wrong): Homer, Odyssey 24.377. The identification is made in the scholia ad loc., but in fact Nerikos was the citadel of the island of Leucas: see also Thucydides 3.7.4, Strabo 10.2.8, Stephanus of Byzantium s.v. ↩
