Notes (2)
- 1Same or similar glossing in other lexica. Latte on Hesychius claims the headword to be extracted from the Septuagint: 2 Paralipomenon 32.5. (See also Ecclesiasticus/Siracides 50.2.) ↩
- 2Polybius fr. 105 Büttner-Wobst. Büttner-Wobst notes (p. 529) that only Valesius (Henri de Valois 1603-1676) attributed this fragment to Polybius. ↩
