Notes (2)

  1. 1Likewise or similarly in other lexica (see the references at Photius mu159 Theodoridis) and cf. also a scholion on Homer, Iliad 5.374, where the adverb mayidi/ws occurs. The headword itself -- neuter singular of the related adjective -- must be quoted from somewhere. ↩
  2. 2Paralleled (according to Adler) in the Ambrosian Lexicon (and cf. ps.-Zonaras). Only the adverb occurs in Homer; cf. ma/y (mu 311). ↩
