Notes (2)
- 1Likewise or similarly in other lexica: see the references at Photius mu516 Theodoridis. The headword is taken to be quoted from the Septuagint (Psalm 79.14). See further, next note ↩
- 2According to Adler, 'Pearson' -- presumably Bishop John Pearson (1613-1686), author of Adversaria Hesychiana -- compared Theodoret (PG 80,1516bc) on Psalm 79.14 LXX. (In another context altogether, the second gloss here,
mono/lukos , was according to Plutarch an epithet applied by Demosthenes to Alexander the Great.) ↩
