Notes (2)

  1. 1The source of the headword -- third person singular, middle active indicative -- is unknown, though the form does occur in e.g. Aeschylus, Suppliants 366, and Euripides, Children of Herakles 71. A different form (mia/nqhsan) occurs in Homer, Iliad 16.795, where it is glossed in the scholia with a form of the same verb (e)molu/nqhsan); and compare also Hesychius mu1307, glossing miai/nei (quoted from Euripides, Phoenician Women 1050, according to Latte) with molu/nei. ↩
  2. 2Adler cites the Syntacticum Gudianum for this addendum. ↩
