Notes (2)
- 1Apparently here (and in the parallel entry in ps.-Zonaras) as a neuter singular, but otherwise unattested as such. (In ps.-Z. the gloss is simply 'heat'.) ↩
- 2From the scholia to Aristophanes, Plutus [Wealth] 535, where this genitive plural occurs (in the rhetorical question "For what good could you procure, except burn-blisters out of a bath-house?"). This could be the genitive plural of
fwi/+s, fw/|s (phi 634). See web address 1. ↩
