Notes (3)
- 1The headword is genitive, but the Attic form
oi)=s with diphthong is nominative. Other forms of this word appear at omicron 90, omicron 95, omicron 100. ↩ - 2The disyllabic accusative occurs in epic; the monosyllabic accusative form is regular in Attic. See omicron 95 and LSJ s.v. The entry up to this point is derived from a scholion on Aristophanes, Peace 930 (text at web address 1); cf. scholia on Homer, Iliad 3.198. ↩
- 3Adler cites E. Miller, Mélanges de la littérature grecque 361 n.30. Compare in any event Apostolius 12.48; also other versions with 'goat' rather than 'sheep' (alphaiota 69/ alphaiota 236). ↩
