Notes (2)

  1. The headword participle, transmitted twice here as fludou/menos (and otherwise unattested), is either an error for or a variant of floidou/menos. For the rare verb floide/w/floidia/w, see generally LSJ s.v.
  2. 1According to Adler, this is quoted from John of Damascus, Canones iambici 2.72. ↩
  3. 2Lycophron, Alexandra 35. ↩
