Notes
- = Synagoge, Photius pi732 Theodoridis, Etymologicum Magnum 665.12, and cf. Hesychius pi1792.
Adler classifies this as as a 'gl[ossa] sacra', without further specification. Probably (as Theodoridis hints) from commentary to Psalm 134:4 LXX, where the headword (here nominative) appears in the accusative; or to Ecclesiastes 2:8 where it appears in the accusative plural.
