	The meaning of GU=ROS in the above mentioned passages ("circle")
has already been mentioned. Other meanings are, according to LSJ "trench"
(made round a tree)".

	DGE distinguishes the following meanings (I omit the text of the
citations, my translations):

	1. círculo (circle): Plu.2.202f, Plb.29.27.5 LXX *Ib.*22.14, *Is.*40.22
	2. vuelta ("turn" or "turaround"): Verg.*G*.3.115, Ou.*AA* 3.384,
Manil.5.75, etc. (5+)
	3. Arco iris ("rainbow") Val.Flac.6.132, Sil.Ital.4.451
	4. "Anillo" de una serpiente (a serpent's "ring") Verg.Aen.5.85,
Manil.1.331, etc.
	5.1 "Pista redonda, picadero de caballos" Prop.3.14.11
	5.2 "corro" ("ring"?) A.*Io.*94.5.
	6. plu. "Ambages" ("circumambages") de la dialéctica Gell.16.8.17
	7. Alcorque ("Trench around a tree) Thphr.*CP* 3.4.1,
Orph.Fr.280.4, Nonn.D.47.69, ILesb17.A.6, B.4, Alciphr.2.10.1 cf. Hsch.

	RBLG gives the following bibliography:
	Conomis, N.C. *Hellenica* 34 (1982-3) p. 184.

	P.S.: very soon a large series of addenda (thousands of new
references) to every section of the RBLG will be placed on-line with free
access.
