*yutali/wn.

Notes

  1. Though grammatically opaque, this unglossed headword *yutali/wn must surely be connected with the small island of Psyt(t)aleia which lies between Attica and Salamis, and was immortalised in the events of 480 BCE: see Herodotus 8.76 & 95; Plutarch, Aristides 9; Pausanias 1.36.2. (In Stephanus of Byzantium the Psyttaleia entry likewise comes immediately after the one for Psyra, here psi 155.)
