Notes
- Likewise or similarly elsewhere: see the references at Photius lambda433 Theodoridis. The headword (frequent in medical texts) and the gloss are more similar in the Greek than they can readily be made to seem in translation; the former is essentially a foreshortening of the latter.
cf. lambda 789, omicron 181, omicron 192, omicron 193, omicron 194.
