Notes (2)

  1. 1Without the syntactical information the entry so far = Synagoge mu151, Photius mu327 Theodoridis, etc. The meanings given here are difficult to find precise attestations for. At omicron 762, the verb is used of adhering to a theological faction. See also mu 726. "[Used] with a genitive" can be found in a number of syntactical catalogues, including Syntacticum Gudianum 591, which also has the gloss "I am concerned about"; cf. the Lexicon syntacticum of Laurentianus 59.16, s.v. ↩
  2. 2Gregory of Nyssa, Encomium for St. Stephen 20 Lendle (via Symeon Metaphrastes, PG 46.709b), with the name of Jesus confusingly omitted. ↩
