Notes (3)
- Despite the primary glosses, it is not certain whether this headword is anything other than the diminutive of
nh=sos (nu 343), i.e. "islet". - 1Not otherwise attested as such (but merely that of a small river, the present-day Mzymta, flowing into the NE Black Sea; cf. Barrington Atlas map 87 grid F1). ↩
- 2Not otherwise attested as such. ↩
- 3Greek Anthology 6.89.1-2 (Maecius); from alpha 1236. Find another extract from this epigram at upsilon 89. ↩
