Notes
- Grammatically spealing the headword is an adverb (mentioned twice as such by Apollonius Dyscolus), associated with the verb paizein: see LSJ s.v. It is probably quoted here from Lucian, Lexiphanes 8.
For other game-names of this kind see beta 160, beta 161, beta 544, delta 1505, kappa 2777, chi 619.
