Notes
- = Synagoge pi518, Photius pi1008 Theodoridis. The headword is accusative singular of the noun
poinh/ (see pi 3092 and, in general, all the other entries from pi 3091 to pi 3096 inclusive). Perhaps from commentary on Homer, Iliad 5.266 or 9.629, where the headword appears in this form; cf. the scholia ad loc. and Hesychius pi2734.
