Notes (2)

  1. 1Epic/poetic word, probably cognate with ei)=mi "go". Same or similar glossing in other lexica (e.g. Hesychius omicron429) and cf. also a scholion on Homer, Iliad 24.388, where the word occurs (web address 1). ↩
  2. 2Fragment of a fable in dactylic verse, included in an appendix to Crusius' edition of Babrius, p.218. ↩
