Etymology: The notation with υ, in the mss. (after ῥοιβδέω) often ousted by οι, is confirmed through the word-play with Χάρυβδις; s. Bechtel Lex. s. ῥοιβδέω, Wackernagel Unt. 83. -- No doubt to ῥυφέω (s. ῥοφέω); with βδ after ῥοιβδέω? An adv. ῥύβδην (wr. οι) = δαψιλῶς is cited by Phot. and after it by Bergk introduced in Hippon. 35 for ῥύδην; hardly correctly, s. Masson ad loc.
