Notes (3)
- The headword, neuter plural of this adjective, is possibly extracted from the quotation given but more probably not, since the other lexica (see note below) do not have it. Extant possibilities, otherwise, include ones in Arrian (Anabasis 6.21.2) and Cassius Dio (40.1.2).
- 1cf. pi 1782, pi 1805. ↩
- 2Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius pi954 Theodoridis. ↩
- 3Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. On the Moors, see generally mu 298. ↩
