¹ Cf. Dar.-Saglio, s.v. Cunae, with fig. 2130: ‘la forme du bouclier dans lequel Alcmène, dans une Idylle de Thèocrite, berce ses enfants jumeaux’ is just that of an ancient σκ⋯φη.

² Dar.-Saglio, ibid.

³ Cf., e.g., Fränkel, Noten zu den Argon., 142 (‘um ihre eigene Achse gedreht’).

⁴ Aeschylus' ⋯σπ⋯δα διν⋯σαντος and Theocritus’ δ⋯ναςε σ⋯κος are recorded alongside each other in Passow and Pape–Sengebusch (but not in L.S J.), s.v. διν⋯ω. Cf. Soph. Aj. 575 f., στρ⋯φων σ⋯κος.

⁵ Cf. Thes., s.v. φρ⋯σσω, 1060 B–D.

⁶ Cf. Theocr. 24. 30 ff. σπε⋯ραισιν ⋯λισσ⋯ςθην (= 24. 14 ff. σπε⋯ραισι … ⋯ξειλνσθ⋯ντες) … ⋯κ⋯νθας δεσμο⋯ (Theocritus' δεσμο⋯ = Apollonius' ςπε⋯ρης).

⁷ The periphrasis ὑπ⋯ + dat. could hardly do here, because it ‘significat rem cuius aliquid vim sentit subiectum et exposition (Schneider, Callim. i. 231): the coils exert no effect on the bristling.
