Notes
- = Synagoge phi153, Photius phi240 Theodoridis. Both headword and gloss are genitive singular masculine/neuter. Prior to the Suda, the headword is not extant as such outside lexicography, but the entry probably derives from commentary to Euripides, Phoenician Women 820, where a poetic genitive form of this word,
foinikolo/foio , appears (in reference to a serpent). See Theodoridis ad loc., Daitz on this line, and cf. Hesychius phi700.
