Notes
- Same entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword is aorist active infinitive of the verb
e)retmo/w . It must be quoted from somewhere -- very probably Euripides, Medea 4, though if so the glossing does not properly convey the transitive sense employed there (e)retmw=sai xe/ras ; cf. LSJ s.v.). A scholiast to the line does better withkw/pais kaqopli/sai , as does Hesychius epsilon5743 (kw/pais a(rmo/sai ).
cf. epsilon 2933, epsilon 2937.
