Notes (1)
- The unglossed primary headword -- which, NB, is not the SOL's
koniwme/nous (for which see below) butkoniortou=tai -- is third person singular, present middle/passive, of the verbkoniorto/w (for which cf. kappa 2037). Attested only here, it is evidently quoted from somewhere. See further, next note - 1Present middle/passive participle, masculine accusative plural, of the verb
konia/w ; again quoted from somewhere unidentifiable. By citingkoniwme/nous together withkoniortou=tai and by glossing it thus, the Suda is derivingkonia/w , fromko/nis orkoni/a "dust"; but the verb primarily means "plaster with lime" (from LSJ s.v.koni/a III.2 "plaster, stucco"). ↩
