Notes
- Aorist active participle, masculine nominative plural, of the verb
e)ca/rxw (cf. epsilon 1562, epsilon 1568). Evidently quoted from somewhere, where -- as the glosses show -- it has the musical sense (perhaps with a genitive following?) noted in LSJ s.v.
cf. ps.-Zonaras epsilon766 (with glossprokata/rcantes ) and Lexica Segueriana 223.20 (with the same gloss as the Suda).
