Notes (2)

  1. 1Same equivalence in the scholia to Aristophanes, Acharnians 574 (where the related noun sagma occurs): pansagi/a h( panopli/a. (For pansagi/a, see further next note.) ↩
  2. 2Callimachus, Hecale fr. 359 Pfeiffer. The Ionic-dialect headword (here, as in the quotation, in the accusative singular) is unattested elsewhere, although it does appear in the Attic form pansagi/a|, i.e. dative, in Sophocles, Antigone 107 (web address 1); cf. Hesychius pi385 and sigma 23. ↩
