Notes (2)
- The headword is presumably extracted from the quotation given. It is the feminine nominative plural of an adjective
pro/krossoi which, outside certain lexica and grammars, occurs only in the plural. - 1cf. the scholia to Homer, Iliad 14.35, where
prokro/ssas occurs (web address 1). ↩ - 2An approximation of Herodotus 7.188.1 (web address 2), on the Persian fleet at anchor near Cape Sepias, Magnesia. (Some of the Suda mss give the numeral, absurdly, as 50.) ↩
