Notes (3)

  1. cf. generally phi 462.
  2. 1Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius phi209 Theodoridis. The headword is third person singular, present indicative, of fimo/w (denominative verb from fimo/s, phi 465). It must be quoted from somewhere. ↩
  3. 2Valckenaer attributed this quotation to Aelian; Bruhn favored an attribution to Iamblichus; now Babyloniaca fr. 68 Habrich. ↩
  4. 3Same note in the Ambrosian Lexicon, according to Adler; cf. ps.-Herodian 143. ↩
