Notes
- Here in the Suda the glossed word is
a)gwnia=n , the infinitive of the verba)gwnia/w , which Isocrates uses in 4.91 (see alpha,334). The equivalent entry in the immediate source, Harpokration, glossesa)gwni/an , the accusative case of the nouna)gwni/a , and gives a precise reference in Isocrates: to On the Antidosis (i.e. 15.183 and 302). So while the Suda entry might make sense in its own terms, it distorts the explanatory point originally intended.
