Notes (2)
- 1= Synagoge pi618, Lexica Segueriana 351.19, Photius pi461 Theodoridis; cf. the two glosses at Hesychius theta159. The headword phrase must be quoted from somewhere (other than the quotation given here, on which see next note); Theodoridis mentions with approval the suggestion of Naber and others that the phrase
pro\s o)/yin might actually be the single wordpro/soyin , quoted from Thucydides 2.89.8. (But for the phrase, as transmitted, see e.g. Plato, Republic 401C, and many other instances.) ↩ - 2Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus 1600-1602, but here with some errors: the ungrammatical and untranslatable
to/ at the beginning in place of Sophocles'tw/ ('those two') and the imperativepo/reuson ('carry out') in place of Sophocles' (e) )po/reusan ('they carried out'); both errors are probably artifacts of oral dictation. The quotation contains not the headword phrase but a compound adjective composed of the two words that make up the headword phrase:proso/yion ('visible'). ↩
