Notes

= Synagoge epsilon782; Photius, Lexicon epsilon1817. The headword is Attic imperfect indicative middle/passive, third person singular. It must be quoted from somewhere; perhaps, as Theodoridis suggests in his Photius edition, from Demosthenes 18.231 (on Philip: web address 1), though there are numerous other possibilities.
