Notes (1)

Same entry in other lexica, beginning with Hesychius kappa860. The headword, a nominative plural, is perhaps quoted from somewhere, though some commentators, such as Latte on Hesychius, link it with a dative plural in the Septuagint (Esther 1:6).

1Latin cortinae (see Lewis & Short s.v. II.B; web address 1 below). ↩
