Notes

  1. Same entry in the Synagoge and in Photius, Lexicon pi1418 Theodoridis; similarly already in Hesychius pi4048-4049, who has more glosses. The headword is aorist active of protu/ptw, third person plural. It is probably extracted from a verse repeated three times in Homer's Iliad: 13.136, 15.306, 17.262; cf. the scholia there.
