Notes (2)

  1. For the verb fqi/nw, see also phi 485, phi 490, phi 492, phi 500, phi 502.
  2. 1Likewise or similarly in other lexica, and in glosses on ps.-Dionysius. Third person singular, present, evidently quoted from somewhere; there are numerous possibilities. ↩
  3. 2Present middle participle, masculine nominative plural. Attested only here in this form, but perhaps generated by the genitive plural in Aeschylus, Choephori 406. ↩
