Notes
- The headword is an irregular superlative of the adjective
terpno/s , in the masculine accusative singular or neuter nominative/accusative singular. Adler suggests that the entry might derive from a scholion on Callimachus: Philoxenos and the Etymologicum Magnum attribute to him the phrasete/rpnistoi de\ tokeu=si to/q' ui(e/es (fr. 536 Pfeiffer), and the Suda'ste/rpniston is registered as Hecale fr. 369.
