Notes

Same entry in ps.-Herodian and (according to Adler) the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword is a variant of pe/talon (pi 1385, pi 1386), first attested in the plural in Hesiod, Shield of Heracles 289 (web address 1); cf. Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon s.v.
The compound u(yipe/thlos occurs in Homer: see upsilon 761.
