Notes
- The headword is a debased form of the dative plural
barakinh=|sin which appears in Hesychius beta207, and is glossed therea)ka/nqais, sko/loyi , "with thorns, with spines." (Same glosses in ps.-Zonaras, to the headwordbaraki/nais .)
Latte on Hesychius s.v. regards this word as a version of one used in the Septuagint: Judges 8.7 (abarkhnin ) and 8.17 (barakhnim ).
