Notes
- Same or similar material in other lexica.
Two different glosses are combined here, with different senses of the verbai)/rein (contracted froma)ei/rein , cf. alpha 638, alphaiota 314, eta 529, etc.). For 'taking away' (i.e. clearing) tables see e.g. Menander fr. 273 Kock = 239 Koerte = 209 K.-A., quoted at alphaiota 299.
