Notes (2)

  1. cf. kappa 2033.
  2. 1The headword, a dative plural, famously occurs in Matthew 23.27 (where the Pharisees et al. are likened to 'whited sepulchres'), and this is probably a gloss on it. ↩
  3. 2An approximation of Xenophon, Anabasis 4.2.22 (web address 1); it uses not the headword participle but an adjective of similar meaning. ↩
