1. Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius phi374 Theodoridis.
   The headword -- evidently extracted from somewhere -- is the accusative plural of the masculine noun fw/r, thief (phi 662); see generally LSJ s.v., and cf. cognates at phi 663, phi 664, and phi 666.
1. 1The gloss is the same form as the lemma, but from the Ionic noun lh|sth/s, brigand/pirate/robber; see generally LSJ s.v. ↩
2. 2In this extra (etymological) gloss, the transmitted substantive is accusative singular of the feminine noun fwra/, theft; see generally LSJ s.v. In her critical apparatus Adler notes that the edition of Aemilius Portus (1630) suggested fw=ran to\ instead of th\n fw/ran; the form fw=ran is unattested, however. Theodoridis expresses cautious support for fwra=n to/ (H. Stephanus). Hesychius has Attic oxytone fwra/ "theft" but also Ionic paroxytone fw/rhn "search."
   Adler also reports that ms F has the present infinitive e)reuna=n (cf. phi 664 (gloss)), not the aorist. ↩
