Notes (2)

  1. 1The dative singular of mh=tis (evidently quoted here from somewhere, probably Homer: see e.g. Iliad 23.315, Odyssey 13.299) is paroxytone because the final iota is long, as it is a contraction of mh/tii+: LSJ s.v. at web address 1. ↩
  2. 2Likewise or similarly in other lexica: see the references at Photius mu421 Theodoridis. See also mu 997 (end). ↩
