Notes

  1. The headword participle (aorist active, masculine nominative singular, of newlke/w) is evidently quoted from somewhere -- perhaps Diodorus Siculus 20.47.2 (where it describes Demetrius Poliorcetes doing this in Cyprus in 307 BCE) or Lucian, Dialogues of the Dead 2.4.
    For the verb see also nu 178.
