* A star before a word denotes that it is found but once; before a meaning, that the meaning is found but once; and before an
author's name, that the word is used but once in his writings,
f This denotes that the word to which it is prefixed is borrowed from the Greek.
It These indicate that a word is borrowed from some other language than the Greek.
i This shows that a word is found only in inscriptions, or in the old grammarians or lexicographers.
. Words enclosed in brackets, at the beginning of articles, relate to etymology; elsewhere, are of questionable authenticity.
Words italicized in the citations have been supplied by the conjecture of editors.
