Notes (2)

  1. cf. sigma 1742 and sigma 1750.
  2. 1As a pronoun, sfh=|si or sfh=|sin is attested only in grammarians; in Homer, the form occurs as feminine dative plural of the possessive adjective sfo/s. The source of the headword phrase is unknown. ↩
  3. 2Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius pi313, where Theodoridis expresses support for Naber's suggestion that this phrase is quoted from Homer, Iliad 8.504. ↩
