Notes
- The headword is a present participle in the feminine nominative plural. However, the verb is apparently not this
kupria/zw , otherwise unattested, but, as in other lexica (see the references at Photius kappa1228 Theodoridis),kupri/zw . Askupri/zousai , therefore, the headword has been identified as a variant reading forkupri/zousin in the Septuagint (Song of Solomon 2.15).
