Notes
- Likewise in the Synagoge (phi93) and Photius' Lexicon (phi147 Theodoridis). The headword is present participle, masculine nominative singular, of
fqinu/qw . For the glossing cf. also a scholion on Homer, Iliad 2.346 (wherefqinu/qein occurs). However, as Theodoridis notes,fqinu/qwn itself occurs three times in the poems of Gregory of Nazianzus; and indeed this is the gloss in the Lex. Greg.
