- Likewise in ps.-Zonaras. The headword, genitive masculine (and neuter) singular of this adjective, is presumably extracted from the quotation given.↩
- 1Greek Anthology 6.255.1-2 (Erycius); cf. beta 445, kappa 1946, omicron 915. On this epigram, wherein a cowherd breaks off and then dedicates a bull's horn, see Gow and Page vol. I (248-249) and vol. II (281-282). Find further extracts from this epigram at alpha 2997, beta 469, iota 397, kappa 1867, and chi 96.
