Notes:
[1] The noun -- quoted from
Callimachus: see next note -- and its glosses are all in the accusative singular. Not the usual word for a pestle, which may be
δοῖδυξ (e.g.
Aristophanes,
Knights 283),
τριβεύς (e.g.
Aristophanes,
Peace 259), or
ἀλιτρίβανος (
Aristophanes,
Peace 258, 265 and 270). For
δοῖδυξ see in particular
delta 1560 and for
ἀλιτρίβανος see
alpha 1146.

Callimachus,
Hecale fr.286, repeated by
