- See also kappa 594, kappa 596; and cf. kappa 597.
- 1Similar comment (as Adler notes) in the lexicon of Cyril. In fact the headword is closely related to
katoxh/ , differing only in having a reduplication of the root-ox- (from *sogh/segh/sgh as in the verbe)/xw ). ↩ - 2Marinus, Life of Proclus 33: quoted more fully at pi 2473. ↩
