Notes
- cf. generally Photius, Lexicon pi1307 Theodoridis, s.v.
prote/ra kai\ proterai/a , but without substantive glosses. More informative is Timaeus, Platonic Lexicon 1001a29-31: "protera [is used] in reference to an order/position [sc. of any kind], but proteraia in reference to a single day. Plato in the Phaedo [writes]: "the [day] before the trial' [58A]."
