Notes (2)

  1. 1From the scholia to Homer, Iliad 4.230, where a version of this neuter accusative plural headword (gui=a rather than gu=a) occurs. Similar material in other lexica, including Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon. ↩
  2. 2Greek Anthology 6.71.9-10 (Paul the Silentiary), the poet's love interest is ever unreceptive. For the adjective cf. under alpha 1444. ↩
