Notes (2)

  1. 1Likewise in other lexica; see the references at Photius pi1287 Theodoridis, where the editor follows Cobet and Baunack in believing that the headword propion, attested only in these lexica, is nothing more than a cut-down version of theopropion. ↩
  2. 2Attested in Homer (Iiad 1.85) and several times in Herodotus; cf. theta 173. ↩
