Notes (1)

  1. The headword is a two-ending adjective in the masculine and feminine nominative singular; cf. epsilon 1834 (gloss) and see generally LSJ s.v.
    The entry is probably generated by the use of the headword, in pronouncing an oath, at Demosthenes 19.172 (web address 1): "may I perish utterly destroyed and ruined if any monetary inducement would have led me to go on an embassy with these men". (Compare also 18.324.)
  2. 1The gloss is the same form as the lemma; cf. pi 213 (gloss) and see generally LSJ s.v. The headword is identically glossed by ps.-Zonaras 1575.3 (Tittmann). Adler also cites Lexicon Ambrosianum 1119 as identical. ↩
