Notes (2)
- 1cf. the Synagoge and Photius, Lexicon pi661 Theodoridis, which separately supply the two glosses given here. The headword -- present indicative middle, third person plural, of
peridine/w -- is evidently extracted from somewhere, but not from the quotation given, where we find an aorist active participle of the same verb. ↩ - 2Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. ↩
