Notes
- From a scholion on Homer, Iliad 3.207 (web address 1), where the first person singular of the headword verb occurs: the Trojan Antenor [Author, Myth] is speaking of himself once playing host to Odysseus and Menelaus. (The meter there requires a double sigma, the usual form in epic for the aorist of
ceini/zw , Atticceni/zw .)
cf. xi 29.
