Notes
- The headword phrase is evidently quoted from somewhere.
As transmitted, the adjective in it,nwtai/a "of the back" (feminine nominative singular), is a rare form of the usualnwtiai/a ; otherwise attested (but accentednwtai=a ) in Nicander, Theriaca 317, and the scholia thereto. (Adler notes that the Suda editio princeps emended tonwtiai/a here.)
