Notes

  1. Same or similar entry elsewhere: see the references at Photius mu109 Theodoridis. The headword phrase, in the accusative case, comes from Euripides, Hecuba 1128 (web address 1). Meter requires the poetic accusative xe/ra in this verse.
    Out of alphabetical order here; should follow, not precede, mu 187.
    cf. generally mu 183, mu 184.
