Notes (2)

  1. On the (mainly poetic) headword see generally LSJ s.v.; and see also upsilon 40.
  2. 1The glossing phrase is translated here as Adler punctuates it, but note that in Photius nu14 there is a comma between the two words. ↩
  3. 2Evidently a quotation; perhaps an approximation of Timaeus FGrH 566 F164 (in Diodorus Siculus 5.19.3) on Sicily, kata/rrutos ... namatiai/ois kai\ gluke/sin u(/dasi. ↩
