- 1Likewise in Photius mu570 Theodoridis. The longer glossing phrase is also, earlier, in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon 996a5, s.v.
muda=|n (though no form of the word occurs in the extant texts of Plato). See also mu 1375, mu 1377. ↩ - 2This part of the entry is also found in Etymologicum Magnum 593.19-28 -- drawn ultimately from commentary to Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 4.1531, where a participle of the headword's verb appears (cf. ps.-Zonaras s.v.
mudale/os ). The comment on graves is appropriate to that context. ↩
