- 1The headword is aorist infinitive of this verb, with similar glossing in other lexica and grammars; see also the Patmos scholia on Thucydides 2.52.4 (where the aorist participle
tou\s nh/santas occurs in Thuc.'s account of how Athenian burial practises were disrupted and degraded by the plague). ↩ - 2Same glossing in other lexica (references at Photius nu197 Theodoridis); evidently quoted from somewhere. ↩
- 3cf. nu 179, nu 302, nu 527. ↩
