Notes (2)

  1. The headword phrase is evidently extracted from the quotation given. Its noun is the dative singular of the masculine noun no/mos, -ou, o(; the adjective is the same form (masculine/neuter) of the adjective o)rqo/s, -h/, -o/n. See generally LSJ s.vv. [NB: no connection with omicron 574/omicron 575/omicron 585.]
  2. 1The gloss is close in sense to, and probably generated by, the scholia to the quotation (for which see next note). ↩
  3. 2Sophocles, Ajax 350 (web address 1: Ajax is still under the spell of Athena and praising his dead cattle). ↩
