Notes (1)
- Adler reports a similar ('cf.') entry in the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword is presumably quoted from somewhere, but its only other attestation is in George the Monk.
For this verb see also pi 1544, pi 1545, pi 1546. - 1
au)qupo/taktos usually refers to the subjunctive of the second (thematic) aorist, but sometimes also to that of the first (sigmatic) aorist (especially in the case of liquid stems). See Herodian the grammarian,*)epimerismoi/ pp. 278 ff. ↩
