Notes (2)

  1. The unglossed headword, a neuter noun not in LSJ, is especially common in the works of Cyril of Alexandria. For this in the plural see under gamma 12 (= omicron 596), of the emperor Tiberius, and delta 1351.
  2. 1See already mu 852. ↩
  3. 2Same or similar glossing elsewhere. The participle is evidently quoted from somewhere; again perhaps Cyril, who has the only instance outside lexicography. ↩
