Notes (2)

  1. The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is a feminine noun in the accusative plural; see phi 558, and generally LSJ s.v. fo/bh.
  2. 1The glossing substantive is the same form as the lemma; cf. theta 500 and see generally LSJ s.v. qri/c. ↩
  3. 2Sophocles, Electra 449 (web address 1): Electra advises her sister Chrysothemis against leaving Clytemnestra's offerings on Agamemnon's tomb, urging her instead to cut off and leave locks of hair. ↩
