 * For convenience i'll link here to κρόταφος, which has a redlink to κροτάφιος, which is in Perseus/Tufts at . I dont know what "Gal." stands for .... presumably not Galatians, though, ...I think it is an ancient medical text and that the English word may come directly from the ancient Greek text.

 * This is correct. Specifically, it is referencing volume 14, page 720 of Kühn's Claudii Galeni opera omnia, which is here, which has a digitized copy here. It appears to be in a pseudo-Galenic work called "Εἰσαγωγὴ ἢ ἰατρός". 98.170.164.88 16:35, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
