Notes (3)
- 1From a scholion on Aristophanes, Knights 18, where the headword adverb, a comic coinage, occurs (web address 1). For Euripides see generally epsilon 3695. ↩
- 2Aelian fr. 157 Domingo-Forasté (154 Hercher). Adler notes the observation of Perizonius [Jakob Voorbroek, 1651–1715] that this sentence refers to a different (missing) headword. ↩
- 3Aristophanes, Wasps 1317 (web address 2); it contains
ko/myos , the commonplace component of the headword. ↩
