Notes (3)
- 1Likewise or similarly in other lexica (see the references at Photius kappa531 Theodoridis): the unfamiliar first and second perfect participle (masculine nominative singular) of
ka/mnw (LSJ entry at web address 1),kekmhkw/s , is glossed with the more familiar present. The headword is thought to be quoted from the Septuagint (4 Maccabees 4.8). ↩ - 2See e.g. Homer, Iliad 23.232. ↩
- 3The last two verses of Greek Anthology 6.66.9-10 (with
filomeide/sin misspelt), attributed to Paulus Silentiarius. They describe the calligrapher's tools which Callimenes dedicates: stylus, ruler, stone, inkwell, sponge, reed-sharpener. ↩
