Notes
- The headword
pignu/h is otherwise unattested (and not in LSJ). The entry as a whole, however, occurs in other lexica, with the headword differently spelled: e.g.pigu/nh in Photius (pi869, but obelized there by Theodoridis),puti/nh orpitu/nh in Hesychius,phgnu/nh in Lexica Segueriana 342.27. Theodoridis quotes Dindorf's view that Toup was probably right to regard the authentic version aspitu/h .
On the botanical issue see LSJ s.v.knh=kos .
cf. generally pi 1540.
