Notes
- The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is the masculine accusative singular of
mnh/stwr . The word is lyric and rare (see LSJ: web address 1), and the source of the present quotation unidentifiable.
For the nominative plural see Aeschylus, Seven Against Thebes 180 (web address 2). The scholia to that passage gloss it variously:mnh/mones; mnei/an kai\ e)nqu/mhsin e)/xontes; ei)dh/mones. "mindful; having rememberance and consideration; acquainted with".
