Notes (3)
- 1Probably from commentary to Homer, Iliad 9.2, where the headword (a feminine noun) appears; cf. scholia ad loc., Hesychius phi951, epsilon7625. ↩
- 2In addition to this entry and the quotation that follows, this adjective (here nominative singular masculine) is attested only at Oppian, Halieutica 4.570, and in scholia thereto. ↩
- 3Greek Anthology 6.237.6 (Antistius), exhibiting the accusative singular masculine form of the secondary lemma. On this epigram, in which a Gallus beats his timbrel in order to frighten away an attacking lion, see Gow and Page vol. I (124-125) and vol. II (145-146). The Galli (cf. gamma 41, gamma 42) were eunuch priests of Kybele (kappa 2586). ↩
