Notes
- = Synagoge alpha719. In the Synagoge and Suda mss this headword is transmitted as
a)kra/tista (printed by Adler) or in one instance, and unalphabetically,kra/tisma . The latter is not a word at all; the former, is neuter plural of the adjectivea)kra/tistos ("breakfast-less"; cf. Theocritus 1.51); but either version is one letter away from what is probably the authentic headword, which can be found, with this same gloss, in Photius alpha837 -- the neuter nouna)kra/tisma (which is also the accepted reading in Bachmann's edition of Synagoge codex B).
cf. generally alpha 960.
