Notes (1)
- The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given (though see next note), is the genitive singular of
krei/ttwn ; cf. kappa 2381. - 1Quotation not identified by Adler, but identifiable via the TLG as a fragment of Menander Protector, De legationibus (section 12) -- but lacking the present headword! The 'Caesar' in question is Tiberius II. ↩
