Notes
- Same entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon.
The headword is derived from the Latin vacare, "to be idle." The gloss literally means "complainer"; for this entry, however, Sophocles' Greek Lexicon of the Roman and Byzantine Periods suggests that schetliastês has the sense of scholastês; cf. beta 44.
