Notes
- Almost identical entry in the Lexica Segueriana (321.18) and Photius, Lexicon (omicron549 Theodoridis), though there the first participle in the long headword phrase (repeated in the glossing phrase) is
kakwqei=sai ; the Suda haskakopaqou=sai andkakw=s paqou=sai . Either way, the unidentifiable headword phrase must be quoted from somewhere.
These participles are in the feminine nominative plural, but they are less likely to refer to women than to impersonal things that are grammatically feminine. Forkakwqei=sai cf. e.g. Pausanias 1.20.7 (Athens); forkakopaqou=sai cf. e.g. Polybius 5.30.5 (cities).
