Notes (1)
- The headword, evidently extracted from somewhere, is a masculine noun (LSJ s.v.
o)kri/bas, -antos ) in the accusative plural. It is possibly generated by Plato, Symposium 194B (web address 1), where it occurs in the accusative singularo)kri/banta , or from the corresponding scholion; cf. omicron 123 and omicron 122. However, the gloss -- see next note -- might point to another source. - 1Same or very similar glossing in other lexica (references at Photius omicron186 Theodoridis) i.e. with the accusative plural of the masculine noun
e)mba/ths, -ou , a type of footwear; LSJ s.v. (I) finds it in two closely-related such senses, "a kind of half-boot of felt" and a synomym for the kothornos, kappa 1909. (In Hesychius omicron486 the gloss ise)nba/tas (sic), a form attested nowhere else.) ↩
