Notes (3)

  1. 1The headword phrase is presumably quoted from somewhere, but attested only here. ↩
  2. 2Sophocles, Oedipus Tyrannus 379, with grammatical comment from the scholia there; cf. pi 1518. (The name Kreon, of course, has nothing to do with the rest of the entry.) ↩
  3. 3Attested only here and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. ↩
