Notes
- Plural of this neuter noun, evidently quoted from somewhere.
For the OT stipulations concerning baldness see Leviticus 13.42-3 and 21.5 (where this noun occurs in the singular); and generally LSJ s.v. (web address 1). Cicero uses this Greek noun to designate a bald man (Letters to Atticus 14.2.2-3).
cf. generally phi 38, phi 39.
