Notes (2)

  1. The headword participle (genitive plural, middle/passive) is presumably extracted from the first quotation given.
    This verb, nomisteu/w, is uncommon in all periods, but see also (and also in relation to coined money) Polybius 18.34.7 (web address 1).
  2. 1Quotation (and individual) unidentifiable. ↩
