Notes (1)

  1. For bat(s) cf. generally nu 578, nu 579. The present headword phrase as transmitted juxtaposes two nouns in the manner indicated. The equivalent one in ps.-Zonaras 1458 does not have that oddity but is no more intelligible: o)ph/. h( nukteri/s, kai\ h( tru/pa, "hole: the bat, and the bore-hole".
  2. 1See dia/trhsis in LSJ (web address 1). ↩
