Notes (1)
- The headword, again at pi 912, illustrates an alternative spelling for
peze/tairoi attested in late Greek authors (for whom it would have been homophonous).
Adler cites Lexicon Ambrosianum 379 for the lemma. - 1Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta of Constantine Porphyrogenitus) unidentifiable. ↩
