Notes (6)
- 1The headword is third-person singular, present indicative, of this verb (for which see also pi 3204). Same glossing in other lexica (references at Photius pi1552 Theodoridis); evidently quoted from somewhere -- perhaps Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Roman Antiquities 9.53.6, though more probably the much-quoted fr. 63 of Ion of Chios, which begins
ou) ga\r lo/gois *la/kaina purgou=tai po/lis "For not by words is the Laconian city exalted." ↩ - 2Damascius, Life of Isidore fr. 36 Asmus (not in Zintzen, though cf. his fr.77). ↩
- 3Bernhardy wished to add 'Aristotle' here. ↩
- 4Porphyry: pi 2098. ↩
- 5Iamblichus: iota 27. ↩
- 6Syrianus: sigma 1662. ↩
