Notes (2)

Entry lacking, Adler reports, in several of the manuscripts.
1Quotation unidentifiable. (NB: if it really does illustrate genitive, the transmitted mh/ ti might be better emended to mhke/ti, as translated here.) ↩
2When meaning 'I overstep/transgress'. For instances see epsilon 1291, sigma 829; also the passive at pi 284. ↩
