Notes
- [1] = Synagoge delta362; Photius, Lexicon delta747; and cf. Hesychius delta2326. The headword (which must be quoted from somewhere) is aorist active participle, masculine nominative singular, of the verb that implies acting in an effective manner (delta 1488, delta 1489, and cf. epsilon 266). Perhaps from commentary to Sophocles, Oedipus Tyrannus 1327, where the headword appears; in the scholia the same gloss is used.
