Notes (3)
- The headword
marmare/hn is feminine accusative singular of the epic/poetic adjectivemarma/reos . See further, next note. - 1Likewise or similarly in other lexica (see the references at Photius mu111 Theodoridis), and cf. also the scholia to Homer, Iliad 3.126, where the headword occurs in the vulgate tradition (as an alternative to
porfure/hn ). See also Iliad 14.273, 17.594 and 18.480. ↩ - 2From the scholia to Aristophanes, Clouds 286, where this phrase (with the headword adjective in the feminine dative plural) occurs, in a choral lyric passage (web address 1). ↩
- 3Again from the Clouds scholia (see n. 2), and similarly elsewhere. ↩
