Notes

  1. Same entry in other lexica (references at Photius mu566 Theodoridis) -- and see also the scholia to Euripides, Andromache 827, from which is clear that the present neuter-plural headword mu/gmata should actually be a)mu/gmata, 'tearings of fingernails'. (Line division there has produced the error.) See web address 1.
