- 1= Synagoge epsilon998; Photius, Lexicon epsilon2326; cf. Hesychius epsilon7171 (where Latte claims the catalyst for the entry as Joshua 9.5 LXX -- see further n. 2 below); scholia to Aristophanes, Clouds 44, where the headword participle occurs (web address 1). See epsilon 3713 for a longer gloss on the same word, and for related words see epsilon 3707, epsilon 3708, epsilon 3711. ↩
- 2For this part of the entry Adler cites Glosses on the Octateuch (in J.A. Fabricius, Bibliotheca Graeca 10.63); cf. scholia to Aristophanes, Clouds 44 (above). Curiously the lemma here is the same as the headword (nominative singular masculine participle), whereas the gloss is genitive plural. Probably, therefore, the lemma should be emended to the genitive plural
eu)rwtiw/ntwn ('of the ones/things mouldering': loaves of bread in the Gl. Oct., and see also Joshua 9.5 LXX and elsewhere). ↩
