Notes
- Same entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. Otherwise unattested in this form (and Adler notes no ms variants), but Hesychius has
ai)su/fios , glossed asdeino/s, yeudh/s, a)patew/n ; see also Theognostus, Canones 16.6. In fact, as Dr. Nick Nicholas suggests to us, it may be a variant of, or mistake for, the epic worda)su/fhlos : see alpha 4292.
