Notes
- Rare verb derived from
a)/kros (tip, top): LSJ entry at web address 1.
The present glossing is only one of the attested (or possible) senses it can bear: the participlea)kri/zwn in Euripides fr. 570 seems to mean "going on tiptoe" (cf, LSJ s.v.); and the scholia to Homer, Iliad 21.12 understand it as "eat off the tops" (cf. alpha 985).
