Agreeing with εἰλεός a. o. in ending, κολεόν, -ός may stand for *κολεϜ-όν and be in connection with καλύ-πτω, κέλυ-φος (s. vv.; Bechtel Lex. s. v.). Whether also κόλυθροι pl. testicle (Arist.) with Bq belongs here, remains uncertain (κόλυθρον, -τρον also with ripe figs [Ath. 3, 76f.]; cf. also σκόλυθρον). -
