 Comments
       
  Comment: The emendation to 'amphiala' is incorrect. The epithet amphialus derives from the Greek compound adjective amphi-alos (meaning 'islander' or 'surrounded by the sea'), and takes the form -us/-us/-um, instead of the more common -us/-a/-um. So in combination with either a masculine or a feminine genus, as in this case, the correct form is amphialus (Alain Touwaide pers. comm)
