Notes (3)

  1. 1Participle(s) in the masculine genitive plural, the headword one presumably extracted from the first quotation which follows. For the verb katatre/xw, cf. kappa 832, kappa 1006. ↩
  2. 2Quotation unidentifiable. ↩
  3. 3Again, quotation (where the 'overrun' verb is this time the aorist infinitive, katadramei=n) unidentifiable. ↩
