Notes (1)
- A baffling entry. LSJ reproduces it (untranslated) in the form given here (where ms V, Adler reports, has
pere/tria ); in the Synagoge and Photius pi627 Theodoridis the headword is transmitted asperi/tria ; Hesychius pi1559 haspera/tria (and a slightly longer gloss, addingtai=s kekthme/nais ); otherwise unattested. Theodoridis mentions, though not with approval, G.H.Schaefer's proposed emendation of the headword to the otherwise-unattestedthrh/tria . - 1This opening feminine pronoun is also open to interpretation as 'She who..'. ↩
