Notes
- Similar entries in the Ambrosian and Laurentian lexica, as well as in ps.-Herodian (68 and 180).
*knh/qw is a late form ofkna/w (kappa 1851), and the aorist passiveknhsqei/hn (evidently quoted from somewhere) apparently belongs tokna/w rather thanknh/qw anyway. The nouns are to be derived from the older verb.
