Notes (2)
- The headword is a feminine noun in the nominative (and vocative) singular. In the quotation given it occurs in the dative plural. See already phi 554 for the accusative plural, and generally LSJ s.v.
- 1Although translated here as a plural, the first glossing noun is singular in number, the same form as the lemma; see LSJ s.v.
ko/mh and kappa 1993. The second gloss is a feminine noun in the nominative singular; see LSJ s.v. and theta 500. The headword is similarly glossed in Hesychius, Etymologicum Magnum 797.56 (Kallierges), and ps.-Herodian, Partitiones 145. For the second gloss, Adler also cites Lexicon Ambrosianum 433. ↩ - 2Callimachus, Hecale fr. 376 Pfeiffer. [In her critical apparatus Adler observes that Crusius incorrectly includes the fragment in his edition of Babrius (p. 216). She also reports that ms G replaces the particle
te bytis (someone) and transmits an alternative form of the imperfect indicative active, third person singulare)ko/mei of the contract verbkoma/w (Ionickome/w ), I let my hair grow long.] ↩
