Notes
- Likewise or similarly in other lexica (references at Photius pi1184 Theodoridis), and in the scholia to Homer, Iliad 14.124, where this neuter plural occurs (web address 1). The scholiast suggests that Tydeus' livestock may have included other animals than sheep (most commonly designated by
pro/bata ).
cf. generally pi 2329, pi 2331, pi 2332, pi 2333.
