Notes (2)
- See also omicron 304, omicron 305, omicron 306, omicron 307.
- 1Likewise in Photius, Lexicon omicron410 Theodoridis, where the adjective in the headword phrase -- from Sophocles fr. 246 Pearson and Radt (225 Dindorf) -- is wrongly transmitted as
o)/pnion . Compare (genitive case) Hesychius omicron833, Photius omicron321; and see also Diogenianus 6.97, and the scholia on Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 4.989. ↩ - 2Again at omicron 307, q.v. for comment. ↩
