Notes
- The headword is feminine nominative singular of the adjective
peuka/limos . Similar entry in Hesychius pi2018 (with three glosses:qermh/ ,qrasei=a andflegmai/nousa ), in ps.-Zonaras (where the gloss issuneth/ ), and in the Etymologicum Gudianum (which appears to misconstrue the headword as an abstract noun, glossing it withfro/nhsis ). Eustathius' commentary on Homer, Iliad 15.81, cites a phrasefrh\n peukali/mh in the context of discussing one of Homer's four instances of the dative plural phrasefresi\ peukali/mh|si .
