Notes (1)
- With the unglossed headword phrase cf. generally lambda 253. Hesychius lambda647 glosses the phrase '
leo/nteios (sic)dora/ ' with 'its skin'. The adjective itself can mean anything pertaining to a lion or more specifically (as in the quotation here) its skin. - 1Quotation unidentifiable. Adler suggests Symeon Metaphrastes; alternatively, perhaps, referring to Heracles (see eta 475)?. ↩
