Notes
- = Photius, Lexicon kappa1197 Theodoridis (and elsewhere); cf. Hesychius kappa4530. Probably, as Latte suggests there, deriving from commentary on the Septuagint, where this neuter plural occurs twice in the description of Noah's Ark (Exodus 25:11 of the Ark itself, 25:24 of its table).
cf. generally under pi 915 (= tau 207).
