Φρωγεῖν

Notes (2)

1. 1The headword verb is attested only here. Adler reports that mss GM put it after phi 744, as alphabetical order would require; also that ms V reads frwtei=n. But Hesychius (phi1081) and other lexica have fw/gein as a headword, glossed with fru/gein "to parch, to roast." David Ruhnken (1723-1798) suggested reading fw/gein as the headword here, and fru/ttein (a later variant of fru/gein) as the gloss; Bernhardy would make the gloss either fru/ttein or fru/gein. See further at Photius phi327 Theodoridis. ↩
2. 2Adler notes that 'Pierson' [the Dutch scholar Johann Pierson, 1731-1759] suggested that "in Attic" belongs to phi 744. ↩
