Notes (1)
- The headword phrase, feminine dative plural of
o)rqh\ a)koh/ , literally upright sound, is presumably extracted from its instrumental usage in the quotation given.
For this usage ofo)rqo/s in the context of prophecy etc. see LSJ s.v., III.b. - 1Aelian fr. 44h Domingo-Forasté (part of 41 Hercher) on the invalid Nikanor. (In fr. 44g (phi 26) the god is identified as Apollo.) ↩
