Notes (2)

  1. cf. Hesychius lambda791 (s.v. lewrgo/n).
  2. 1(?)Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound 4-5, quoted more fully at epsilon 2978. ↩
  3. 2The etymology of lewrgo/s is unclear, but it is more likely from le/ws 'at will' + e)/rgw 'work' (cf. LSJ, web address 1). For the etymology given here cf. the scholion to (?)Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound 5 (and lambda 275). ↩
