Notes (2)

  1. On water-pipes and channels cf. omicron 1030, omicron 1031, omicron 1035, omicron 1036, omicron 1061.
  2. 1Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius pi441 Theodoridis. The headword is third person singular, present indicative active, of paroxeteu/w. It must be quoted from somewhere, perhaps from one of the medical writers (Aretaeus, Oribasius) who provide its only attestations outside lexicography. ↩
  3. 2Present participle, masculine nominative plural, of the same verb. Likewise quoted from somewhere (perhaps Demon FGrH 327 F6 = part of Hesychius' entry on the proverb which is omicroniota 108). ↩
