- Likewise in other lexica (see the references at Photius mu11 Theodoridis); and cf. Aristophanes of Byzantium fr. 52 Nauck.
- 1"Knife" does not seem to be one of the attested meanings of
magi/s (for which see also mu 15). For machaira see also mu 302. ↩ - 2See also mu 10. Compare Herodian the grammarian, quoted by Orion [Author, Myth] 100.4, whence Etymologicum Magnum 573.4. ↩
