Notes

  1. Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius pi659, where Theodoridis marks the otherwise-unattested headword, accusative case, as corrupt. He notes, and seemingly endorses, the view of Schleusner and Cobet that it is a corruption of peri/dinon "rover"; cf. Hesychius pi1616, generated by Plato, Laws 776C.
