Notes
- Third person plural, imperfect indicative active, of the verb
kompolake/w . Glossed differently in a scholion on Aristophanes, Frogs 961 (where the headword is first person singular, spoken by Euripides: see web address 1, and omicron 866). If the present instance is, truly, third person plural, it must be quoted from somewhere else; but we may suspect a miscontruing.
