Notes (2)
- 1Likewise in Erotianus 110.4 Klein, and ps.-Herodian, Epimerismi 115; similarly in Hesychius and elsewhere. The headword is nominative singular feminine of the adjective
pukino/s , which is a variant for the more commonpuknh/ (used here as the glossing word) that often occurs in hexameter poetry for metrical purposes. Perhaps from commentary on Homer, where the headword occurs frequently (e.g. Iliad 2.55), although only once (Iliad 24.80) in the form given here. (For related words, see all the other entries between pi 3142 and pi 3155, inclusive.) ↩ - 2An unidentifiable fragment of hexameter poetry. ↩
