Notes
- An incorrect quotation (and headword extracted therefrom) of Callimachus, Hecale fr. 324; again under omicroniota 62. The correct reading
de/moimi , first person singular optative of the rare verbde/mw 'I build', has been wrongly transmitted, both here and at ps.-Zonaras, Lexicon delta487 line 25, in a form unknown in Greek.
