Notes (3)

  1. cf. epsilon 3922.
  2. 1Comparably in syntactical lexica. (The quotation appended -- n. 3 below -- illustrates this.) ↩
  3. 2Same glossing in Photius and other lexica. The headword participle, masculine nominative singular, must be quoted from somewhere. (Extant instances are few and late.) ↩
  4. 3Addendum in mss GIM only, Adler reports. She suggests that the quotation may be from Symeon Metaphrastes; cf. in any event under alpha 2212. ↩
