Notes

Same or similar entry in other lexica; see the references at Photius kappa1308 Theodoridis. The headword -- third person singular, present indicative active, of kwma/zw -- must be quoted from somewhere; probably, as Naber (now supported by Theodoridis) suggested, from Demosthenes 19.287, on 'the abominable Kyrebion' (kappa 2754).
cf. epsilon 548, kappa 2254, kappa 2255, kappa 2256, kappa 2258.
