Notes:
From epsilon 86; see also nu 369; also Etymologicum Magnum and Pseudo-Zonaras s.v. ἐγκεκορδυλημένος .
The noun φακιόλιον is also glossed in the Etymologicum Gudianum, as a synonymous of σιμικίνθιον . In the Suda cf. kappa 1588, sigma 429 and phi 27; also cf. Ps-Zonaras s.vv. θέριστρον, σιμικίνθιον , Photius s.vv. κίδαρις, σιμικίνθιον and Hesychius s.v. σιμικίνθια .
[1] According to the probable source for the Suda, the scholia to Aristophanes, Clouds 10 (where the phrase ἐν πέντε σισύραις ἐγκεκορδυλημένος , 'wrapped up in five blankets', occurs: web address 1), this Kreon wrote Κυπριακά , Cypriot (hi)stories.
[2] Besides kappa 2073 see also Ps-Zonaras s.v. ἐγκεκορδυλημένος , Photius s.v. συγκεκορδυλημένα and Hesychius s.vv. ἐγκορδυλῆσαι, συγκεκορδυλισμένα .
[3] In the Suda see kappa 2488, kappa 2489 and epsilon 1257, deriving from Thucydides 1.6.3 (web address 3); also see the corresponding scholia. The word is glossed as a knot of hair (Aelius Dionysius, ἀΤτικὰ ὀνόματα , Etymologicum magnum, Lexicon Vindobonense, Photius and Hesychius s.v.), and, in the latter as pubic or children’s hair.
[4] Elsewhere attested as κίδαρις (14 times in the Septuagint translation of the Old Testament) and glossed as a royal, esp. Persian, skull cap (πῖλος βασιλικός ) in Aelius Herodianus, Περὶ ὀρθογραφίας and Hesychius s.v.; also as a clerical cap, Ps-Zonaras, Photius, Etymologicum Gudianum, Etymologicum Magnum s.v. κίδαρις ; cf. Etymologicum Magnum s.v. τιάρα , and pi 1602.
