Notes (2)
- The headword phrase (also in the Ambrosian Lexicon, according to Adler) is probably generated by Aristophanes, Birds 345, where the Doric accusative
o(rma\n foni/an occurs in a lyric passage (web address 1). - 1This phrase is attested twice in Euripides: Heracles 1184 and Phoenician Women 933. ↩
- 2Probably, again, from tragedy; LSJ s.v. cites many instances. ↩
