Note 750 — ON INJURIES OF THE HEAD.
Francis Adams translation
Φοεός. The exact meaning of this term is well defined by Eustathius in his Commentary on Homer (ad Iliad., ii., 219), ό ἐις ὀξὺ λήγονσαν ἔχων τὴν κεφαλήν. It is excellently expressed by Damm as follows: “One whose head diminishes towards the top like a sugar-loaf.” (Lexicon Homericum in voce Φοεός.)
