Notes (1)
- This entry is absent, Adler reports, from mss AF, while GM have as the lemma the form of the word as it appears in the subsequent quotation: present indicative middle third-person plural (epic dialect). The present headword, attested only here, is present active infinitive.
cf. kappa 2535. - 1Theocritus, Idylls 1.38, with comments from the scholia (although the form of the verb as it appears in Theocritus is different from what is presented here: see the notes to kappa 2674 for more details). ↩
