- 1The headword is genitive singular of phi 431. Same glossing in other lexica (references at Photius phi198 Theodoridis); cf. scholion on Euripides, Phoenician Women 532 (where the headword occurs: web address 1), and a scholion on Gregory of Nazianzus, PG 36.1240a. ↩
- 2Present participle of
filotime/omai (phi 434, and cf. phi 430), masculine nominative singular; evidently quoted from somewhere. ↩
