There are also garlands called μελιλώτινοι,, which are mentioned by Alexis in his Crateva, or the Apothecary, in the following line— And many μελιλώτινοι garlands hanging.

There is the word too, ἐπιθυμίδες,, which Seleucus explains by every sort of garland. But Timachidas says, Garlands of every kind which are worn by women are called ἐπιθυμίδες.
22
There are also the words ὑποθυμὶς and ὑποθυμιὰς, which are names given to garlands by the Aeolians and Ionians, and they wear such around their necks, as one may clearly collect from the poetry of Alcæus and Anacreon. But Philetas, in his Miscellanies, says, that the Lesbians call a branch of myrtle ὑποθυμὶς, around which they twine violets and other flowers.
22
The ὑπογλωττὶς also is a species of garland. But Theodorus, in his Attic Words, says, that it is a particular kind of garland, and is used in that sense by Plato the comic poet, in his Jupiter Ill-treated.

I find also, in the comic poets, mention made of a kind of garland called κυλιστὸς,, and I find that Archippus mentions it in his Rhinon, in these lines— He went away unhurt to his own house, Having laid aside his cloak, but having on His ἐκκύλιστος garland. And Alexis, in his Agonis, or The Colt, says— This third man has a κυλιστὸς garland Of fig-leaves; but while living he delighted In similar ornaments: and in his Sciron he says— Like a κυλιστὸς garland in suspense. Antiphanes also mentions it in his Man in Love with Himself. And Eubulus, in his Œnomaus, or Pelops, saying— Brought into circular shape, Like a κυλιστὸς garland.
