Notes (2)

  1. 1The headword and the two glosses are in fact aorist participles (masculine nominative singular), but both fra/sas and ktei/nas function as nouns in the quotation given. ↩
  2. 2Sophocles, Electra 197 (web address 1), with scholion. For Agamemnon, see generally alpha 140; for Aegisthus, alphaiota 62. ↩
