Notes (2)
- 1Headword and glosses are dative plurals of these adjectives. The headword one might be extracted from the quotation given (where the relevant phrase is literally "eating frugal breads"); however, other lexica (see the references at Photius lambda358 Theodoridis) do not have the quotation, but do have this headword with the second and third of the Suda's glosses. ↩
