Notes (2)

Likewise in ps.-Zonaras, and cf. Photius, Lexicon beta16; Adler also cites a comparable entry in the Ambrosian Lexicon (234).
The unglossed primary headword is the present imperative (second person singular) of badi/zw, evidently quoted from somewhere but too commonplace to track down.
1That is, the middle-voice imperative can be used instead of the active. See further, next note. ↩
2Cratinus fr. 391 Kock (421 Kassel-Austin). Kock suggested that this word is spoken by a character being lampooned for solecisms (in this instance, using a middle form where an active form is appropriate), like Datis in Aristophanes, Peace 289 ff. (web address 1); cf. delta 89.
