Notes (3)

  1. The headword (which must be quoted from somewhere) is imperfect, third person singular, of e)rwta/w; cf. epsilon 3076.
  2. 1Not really an appropriate gloss; Adler notes Kuster's suggested emendation to eu)/qune (cf. epsilon 3517). ↩
  3. 2Why this imperfect is repeated is unclear. ↩
  4. 3Luke 14.18. ↩
