Notes (2)
- Sophocles, Ajax 899 (web address 1), with scholion. The headword, extracted from the line, is a two-ending adjective in the masculine and feminine nominative singular; see generally LSJ s.v.
- 1The gloss, attested only here and in the Sophoclean scholia, is the perfect middle/passive participle, masculine nominative singular, of the verb
perikuli/ndw , I roll around; see LSJ s.v. ↩ - 2The line is spoken by Tecmessa, on discovering the hero's body. [In her critical apparatus Adler notes that mss GVM wrongly transmit the adjective accompanying 'sword' as
korufai/w| (dative singular ofkorufai=os , "the top of" -- perhaps to the hilt).] ↩
