Notes
- For pulses see generally omicron 706. This noun connected with them is attested only in lexica and scholia. Where the gloss differs from the present one, extra information can be gleaned: Hesychius calls it a synodos ("gathering"), and a scholion to Sophocles, Electra 635, where the phrase
qu/maq' ... pa/gkarp' occurs, says that that adjective ("all-fruit") is appropriate 'because they used to sacrifice panospria to the gods'.
