Notes (2)
- 1Likewise in other lexica; references at Photius omicron343, where Theodoridis endorses the view of Schleusner and M.Schmidt that the neuter plural headword (which must be quoted from somewhere) has been corrupted from
o)ni/dia (cf. omicron 362). ↩ - 2Sc. for feeding the dung-beetle. From a scholion on Aristophanes, Peace 4, where the genitive plural occurs (web address 1). ↩
