Notes

Same entry elsewhere: see the references at Photius lambda249 Theodoridis. For this verb see already lambda 424; this aorist form of it occurs in, and is quoted from, Homer, Iliad 18.28 (web address 1). Compare also Homer, Odyssey 1.398 (where meter requires the spelling lhi+/ssato; the Suda's spelling also features in the scholia).
