Notes (2)

cf. generally epsilon 2373.
1The second of these glosses is also in Hesychius and other lexica. Latte on Hesychius s.v. regards the headword adjective itself as quoted from Euripides, Trojan Women 514; if so, it is masculine/feminine accusative singular (rather than neuter nominative/accusative). ↩
2This phrase is also noted, Adler reports, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (1534).
