Notes (1)
- The headword is a two-ending adjective in the neuter nominative/ vocative/accusative singular; see generally LSJ s.v.
tanu/floios . The entry is generated by the earliest attestation of the headword: Homer, Iliad 16.767 (web address 1), on the Cornelian cherry tree (kra/neia , Cornel, Cornus mas); cf. Tutin, p. 314 and Eustathius, Commentaries on Homer's Iliad 3.492.7 and 3.927.12. Note also Cunliffe, s.v.tanu/floios (p. 373), with smooth bark; but compare othertanu- compounds (tau 82, tau 83, tau 84, tau 85, tau 86, tau 87). - 1The gloss follows the scholion (= D scholia) to the aforementioned Homeric passage; cf. Etymologicum Magnum 745.50 (Kallierges) and ps.-Zonaras 1713.18. ↩
