Notes (2)

  1. 1Likewise or similarly in other lexica; see the references at Photius lambda236 Theodoridis. Probably generated, as Latte on Hesychius suggests, by one of the four instances (all accusative case) in Ezechiel 24-26 LXX. ↩
  2. 2Quotation unidentifiable. For the Chersonnese see generally chi 215. ↩
