Notes (2)

  1. Possibly to be identified with pi 2166, q.v.
  2. 1This is illogical as transmitted: what purport to be alternatives are the same. Adler (apparatus) suggested that 'or' should be 'and', but even that does not quite solve the problem. Perhaps, rather, the first vowel of this second version of the name should be omicron, and/or the lambda doubled (Kuster). ↩
  3. 2Meaning perhaps the formation of the letters themselves. ↩
