Notes
- Likewise or similarly in other lexica, including Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon; references at Photius upsilon41, where Theodoridis corrects the transmitted
u(lako/moroi tou(lako/mwroi (as in the Suda and elsewhere). An epithet for dogs (implying persistent, pointless barking): see Homer, Odyssey 14.29 and 16.4 (web address 1 and web address 2), and the scholia to the first of those passages.
