Notes (2)
- Transmitted as present participles in the masculine nominative singular, but see below.
- 1Likewise or similarly in other lexica (see the references in Photius mu353 Theodoridis), but note that the earliest, Hesychius mu1088, construes the headword as the genitive plural of an adjective. Either way, the headword must be quoted from somewhere but is not otherwise attested. ↩
- 2Otherwise unattested. ↩
