Ἀγόνων χοῶν. διφορεῖται ὁ Θεολόγος φησί· τουτέστι τῶν ἐπὶ τοῖς νεκροῖς χεομένων καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἀγόνων. καὶ Ἀγονία, ἡ ἀφορία. τὴν Ἄρτεμιν μηνίσαι καὶ μετελθεῖν δικαιοῦσαν αὐτὴν γῆς ἀγονίᾳ.

Notes (3)
- [1] This comment (a single word in the Greek; in ms A only, Adler reports) perhaps refers to the active and passive senses of the adjective ("not bearing" and "not born"): see LSJ entry at web address 1, and again at alpha 337.↩
- 2Scholion on Gregory of Nazianzus (PG 36.378b), who does use the headword phrase. ↩
- 3See already alpha 295. ↩
- 4Aelian fr. 49d Domingo-Forasté (46 Hercher); cf. delta 1079.
