Notes (2)

  1. The headword is a feminine noun in the nominative (and vocative) singular; see generally LSJ s.v. The glossators, as we see, were not agreed on whether it was or was not an admirable quality.
  2. 1The headword is identically glossed in the Synagoge, Photius' Lexicon (mu166 Theodoridis), and the Lexica Segueriana; cf. Hesychius (mu472 and mu478) and ps.-Zonaras 1343.4-5. ↩
  3. 2(Lacking, Adler reports, in mss AF.) Like the two previous glosses, this is a feminine noun in the nominative (and vocative) singular; cf. mu 369 (end). ↩
