Notes
- Same entry in the Synagoge, Photius' Lexicon (omicron206 Theodoridis) and Lexica Segueriana 316.3; the headword is evidently quoted from somewhere.
Thiso)le/sk- stem ofo)/llumi does not occur in Classical Greek; the first known instances are in ps.-Chrysostom ( In adorationem venerandae crucis PG 62.754:o)le/skontai ), and the Sibylline Oracles (1.108:w)/leskon ). The stem mostly occurs in grammars and lexica. Howevero)/leskon is recorded in the scholia to Homer, Odyssey 14.220, as an alternative reading ofe(/leskon .
