- α683ἌϊθεςAithes, AethesAttested only here and in ps.-Zonaras, whose entry is 'Aithes and Aines, peoples'. (For the latter see alpha 685.) Perhaps a faulty version of Aithikes (alphaiota 123).

- α818ἈκάτειραAkateiraAttested only in lexicography. (Besides here, see ps.-Zonaras s.v. and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon.) Conceivably Acadira, in Kashmir; or else, possibly, Agadir in Mauretania (Morocco). alpha 820 seems to be unconnected.
- ε794ἘλεοῦνταElaious[1] (At the southern tip of the present-day Gallipoli peninsula; Barrington Atlas map 51 grid G4.) Very similarly in ps.-Zonaras. The Suda's source for this glossing is Harpokration s.v. (epsilon31 Keaney), but NB: the …
