Notes (3)

  1. 1In the Troad, figuring in the Iliad; Barrington Atlas map 56 grid C2; present-day Menderes Cay. Same gloss in Hesychius, with the addition of "which is also called Xanthos [Myth, Place]" (cf. Homer, Iliad 20.74). ↩
  2. 2Same gloss in the Synagoge and Photius' Lexicon. This adjective in the accusative plural must be quoted from somewhere, but is otherwise unattested in this form. (Note however *skamandri/ous, twice in Euripides' Trojan Women.) ↩
  3. 3This phrase is attested only here, but must be quoted from somewhere. ↩
