- αι380ΑἰτώλιοςAitolian, Aetolian; owlWithout a gloss the import of this entry is unclear. It is most probably, in upper case, 'Aitolian/Aetolian', a rare variant of alphaiota 381 which occurs (applied to Diomedes [Author, Myth]) in Homer, Iliad …
- α911Ἄκνηστιςchine, small (of the back)… 10.161) and Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon. The word is also found without the initial alpha. (Its earliest appearance, in Homer [above], can accommodate either reading: kat' a)/knhstin or kata\ knh=stin.)
