Notes (2)

  1. Entry lacking, Adler reports, in mss AF.
  2. 1According to LSJ (s.v.), ou)daminoi/ is accented as a proparoxytone in Herodian, and their entry seems to adopt that accentuation although elsewhere (as here) it appears as an oxytone. Cf. omicron 776. For the word in other lexicographers, cf. Hesychius omicron1548. ↩
  3. 2From omicron 797; see also alpha 2899. ↩
