Notes

  1. Similarly in other lexica, esp. Etymologicum Magnum 714.5-6, which quotes a hexameter line taken to come from Callimachus: see LSJ s.v., and more explicitly Pfeiffer, designating it Hecale fr. 289 (a)lla\ su\ me\n sipalo/s te kai\ o)fqalmoi=sin e)/fhlos "but you are ugly and have specks in your eyes").
