Notes (2)

  1. 1That of (inter alios) several mythological figures, e.g. a son of Perseus and Andromeda, and a son of Priam (but not of Hecuba) killed by Achilles. Adler cites Ambrosian Lexicon 603 and 620 for this part of the entry, and 614 for the whole. ↩
  2. 2This part of the entry, without the citation of the genitive form, = Synagoge mu205, Photius mu416 Theodoridis. See also Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon (112.31), Hesychius mu1269, mu1270, and the scholia to Homer, Iliad 8.22 (web address 1), and 5.272 (web address 2), where forms of the headword (cognate with mh/domai: mu 888) occur. ↩
