Notes (3)

  1. cf. mu 839, mu 842, mu 844.
  2. 1Likewise or similarly in other lexica: see the references at Photius mu204 Theodoridis. The headword, dative plural of the neuter noun mei/ligma, must be quoted from somewhere. ↩
  3. 2cf. under chi 395. ↩
  4. 3Quotation -- and individual -- unidentifiable. (Adler suggests Aelian.) It uses not the headword but the related abstract noun mei/licis, in the genitive singular. ↩
