Linguistics
The term appears in a scholarly article about ancient Greek rhetorics and their translations in the sixteenth century. "Escolio" in Spanish is a side commentary to a text, it derives from the Greek scolios (bent). The article refers several times to these escolios/commentaries made by sixteenth century scholars on older translations.
I cannot find an appropriate term in English for "escolio". The target audience is other scholars, so I might leave it in Greek in italics or use the synonimous "commentary".
Thank you.

Never heard of this, hence my confidence level, but this looks a good bet.
Scholia (singular scholium or scholion, from Ancient Greek: σχόλιον, "comment, interpretation") are grammatical, critical, or explanatory comments, either original or extracted from pre-existing commentaries, which are inserted on the margin of the manuscript of an ancient author, as glosses. One who writes scholia is a scholiast. The earliest attested use of the word dates to the 1st century BC.

Comment: "Thank you, Robert. Not too keen on using Wikipedia unless there is a text to compare it too but in this case it seems like the appropriate answer. "
