Notes (2)

  1. 1The first of these glossing terms, literally 'word-battle', is uncommon, and the gloss as a whole sounds an odd (and presumably unconscious) echo of 1 Timothy 6.4: 'concerning investigations and arguments, out of which comes envy, strife, etc.'. ↩
  2. 2Quotation (and individual) unidentifiable, but cf. generally Polybius 21.16.5. ↩
