Notes (2)
- The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is future active infinitive of the verb
neoxmo/w (for which cf. nu 223, nu 224). - 1For the first of these glosses cf. Hesychius nu371, glossing
neoxmou/menoi withnewterizo/menoi . ↩ - 2Quotation unidentifiable (though its phrase
a)sxo/lous dia\ to\n po/lemon o)/ntas , i.e. without the Suda'sga/r , occurs in Plutarch, Moralia [Aetia Romana et Graeca] 296C). ↩
