Notes
- Same entry in other lexica. Theodoridis on Photius s.v. suggests that the headword phrase is quoted from Thucydides (1.31.3 or 8.71.1).
Hereh(=| is the dative feminine singular of the relative pronoun, andkaqo\ iskata/ +o(/ , the neuter accusative singular of the relative pronoun. Both words may be translated "as".
For the form of the headword phrase cf. eta 7.
