Κοινῶνας· κοινωνούς. Ξενοφῶν· ἀκροθίνια τοῖς θεοῖς καὶ τεμένη ὁ Κῦρος ἐκέλευσεν ἐξελεῖν, οὕσπερ κοινῶνας ἐνομίζετο τῶν καταπεπραγμένων. καὶ αὖθις· τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ ἄξειν, καὶ ὅσοι κοινῶνες αὐτῷ τῆς φυγῆς ἐγένοντο.

Notes (3)
- The headword is accusative plural, presumably extracted from the first quotation given.
- 1= Synagoge, Hesychius kappa3261. The gloss is practically equivalent to the headword, being a more common nominal derivative from the same root. The use of the latter is particularly associated in late-antique scholarship with Xenophon (see Pollux 8.134), and apart from the second quotation given here (see n. 3 below), all literary attestations are found in Xenophon's Cyropaedia: in addition to the quotation given here (n.2) see also 2.25.5, 7.5.36, 8.1.16, 8.1.26, 8.1.36, 8.1.40, all, as here, in the accusative plural apart from 8.1.26 (genitive plural). LSJ (web address 1) also notes papyrological attestations, such as one in the C3-BCE revenue laws of Ptolemy Philadelphus (ed. B.P. Grenfell, Oxford 1896), 10.10. ↩
- 2Xenophon, Cyropaedia 7.5.35 (web address 2). ↩
- 3Tentatively attributed by Adler to either Iamblichus or Aelian; now Iamblichus, Babyloniaca fr. 7 Habrich. ↩
