Notes:
[1] The headword is similarly glossed in other lexica, and in a scholion on
Homer,
Iliad 11.68, where
ὄγμον (accusative case) occurs in a simile (web address 1). The phrase
ὄγμοι σταχύων , if it is the quotation it appears to be, looks like a version of
ὄγμοι ... ἀσταχύων in the second Homeric Hymn, to
Demeter (lines 455-6). See web address 2.
[2]
Sophocles,
Philoctetes 162-3 (web address 3), with the related verb
ὀγμεύω .
[3]
Greek Anthology 6.258.1-2, quoted again at
omicron 95.
