Notes

  1. Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius upsilon336 Theodoridis. The headword, an epic/poetic adverb, sometimes means "in the sky," but more often "in the air" or merely "up above." Three instances in Homer (all in the Iliad, and all as u(yo/q'), three in Theocritus, twelve in Apollonius, and at least one in Callimachus: see web address 1.
