Notes (3)

  1. 1Both the headword (presumably drawn from the first quotation given) and its gloss are vocative singular. ↩
  2. 2Tentatively attribted by Adler to Iamblichus; now Iamblichus, Babyloniaca fr. 38 Habrich. ↩
  3. 3Quotation unidentifiable. The sense 'be obedient' is common in Herodotus (see LSJ s.v. II); also in e.g. Procopius. ↩
