Notes (2)
- 1Perhaps (as Adler suggests) from a scholion on Aristophanes, Ecclesiazusae 173, where
me/ta in this sense occurs. Onme/ta in the sense ofme/testi , see generally LSJ s.v.meta/ , F (where this instance is not cited), and cf. mu 678. ↩ - 2Literally 'O evil head'; for the idiom see generally LSJ s.v.
kefalh/ , I.2. The instance of it quoted here is unidentifiable. ↩
