Notes
- = Synagoge delta388; Photius, Lexicon delta796; cf. Hesychius delta2525, and contrast Hesychius delta2510. The headword adjective -- here in its neuter nominative/accusative singular form, quoted from somewhere -- is commonly used in Patristic and Byzantine literature (though its origins are earlier, between the first and second centuries AD, with Plutarch, Lucian and others).
