1*(raiko/s is cited from Epicharmus (fr. 184 Kaibel, now 180 Kassel-Austin). Philoxenus [phi 394] fr. 588 Theodoridis reportedly said this was from *graiko/s [Latin Graecus, "Greek" (gamma 447)] and the G had been dropped. Hesychius, on the other hand, says that *(raiko/s means Hellene, and the Romans have added the G. ↩
