Notes
- Same or similar entry in other lexica: see the references at Photius mu39 Theodoridis. The headword is future (passive) of
maio/omai , a variant ofmaieu/omai (mu 315, mu 316, mu 317). (This verb is used both of midwives and of mothers; also in a passive sense of the baby.) It is taken to be quoted from the Septuagint: Job 26.5.
