Notes
- Same entry in other lexica. The nominative plural headword occurs in -- and is surely extracted from -- Euripides, Phoenician Women 139. Its noteworthiness lies in the relatively rare word used for the 'shield' part of the compound (sakos; cf. sigma 36, sigma 40); the two glosses employ more commonplace ones (hoplon, aspis).
