Notes
- Same entry in other lexica; references at Photius omicron521 Theodoridis. The headword
o)rofoitw=nta , evidently quoted from somewhere, is present participle of a verbo)rofoita/w . In the Septuagint (4 Maccabees 14.15) the neuter accusative pluralo)rofoitou=nta oro)rofoitw=nta is used of birds, but the present gloss construes the entry as masculine accusative singular. (Latte and Theodoridis, who cite the Septuagint passage, make no comment.)
cf. generally omicron 553.
