Notes
- cf. delta 1201; alpha 579; alpha 3562; ps.-Herodian 205.
The formdiw/ruxos for the genitive is also attested, esp. (consistently) in Herodotus and Plato; see web address 1. The declension pattern withg is used in later Greek. In a similar way, the wordkatw/ruc follows a declension withx in Aeschylus and Sophocles. Cf. Phrynichus 210:dia\ tou= g kakw=s: oi( ga\r a)rxai=oi tau=ta dia\ tou= x le/gousi .
