Notes (2)

[1] Despite what the compiler of this entry appears to think, there is no connection, etymological or substantive, between the headword e)/cwmos (cf. epsilon 1838, epsilon 1839) and the rest of the entry.
2Presumably quoted; perhaps from [Demosthenes] 49.20, but there are numerous other possibilities (and cf. under delta 523). ↩
3Demosthenes 19.124. This part of the entry is an abbreviation of Harpokration s.v. e)cwmosi/a, which is commenting on it. See also epsilon 1841; and (for the verb) epsilon 1792, epsilon 1797, epsilon 1798.
