Notes (1)
- Likewise or similarly in other lexica, including Synagoge pi386; references at Photius pi736 Theodoridis, where the editor cites Bekker's view that the headword phrase comes from Arrian, Anabasis 4.8.9 (
kai\ peripeth= )*Alexa/ndrw| gene/sqai *Klei=ton a)nakalou=nti ) but also proffers his own suggestion of Menander, Aspis [Shield] 335-6 (tw=n a)/fnw tou/twn tini\ kakw=n gene/sqai peripeth= ).
cf. generally pi 1424, pi 1243. - 1This final word of the entry is regarded as a copying error, derived from the last word of what is preserved as the next entry in these earlier lexica:
peri/pleon: plh/rh ('complete: [meaning] full.') ↩
