Notes
- The headword, a neuter noun here in the singular, appears in the plural in Homer, Iliad 11.679 = Odyssey 14.101. There as in later literary sources it means a herd of swine. The Suda's glossing synonym for it is otherwise unattested, but for (plural) equivalents see Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon 146.7, giving rise to Hesychius sigma2138, and a scholion on the Iliad verse.
