Notes

= Synagoge; Photius, Lexicon pi252 Theodoridis; and cf. Hesychius pi556-557.
The headword -- present active participle, masculine nominative plural, of parakrote/w -- is taken to be quoted from Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Roman Antiquities 7.46.5, or Josephus, Jewish War 3.239.
The root verb refers literally to urging on with applause or with other percussive sounds of approbation.
