Notes (2)
- cf. already kappa 2545.
- 1= Synagoge, with the exception that the latter displays the Attic/Koine contracted form of the headword
kuloidiw=n , instead of the epic/Ionickuloidio/wn found here. (Compare also Photius, Lexicon kappa1194 Theodoridis, s.v.kuloidia=n .) The headword in this form is otherwise unattested. ↩ - 2Theocritus, Idylls 1.38, which actually has the nominative plural masculine form of the participle,
kuloidio/wntes , rather than the form given here (nominative/accusative plural neuter or accusative singular masculine). ↩
