Notes (3)
- 1Same or similar glossing in other lexica; references at Photius pi45 Theodoridis. ↩
- 2From the scholia to Aristophanes, Peace 574 (web address 1), where this diminutive does occur in the genitive plural (as either
palaqi/wn or the Suda'spalasi/wn ). The final claim made, that the word itself means a plant, seems to be untrue. ↩ - 3From glosses on Herodotus 4.23.3, where this word occurs in the accusative plural (of cakes of dried cherries). See web address 2. ↩
