Notes (1)
- [1] Same entry in Photius; longer one in Hesychius, adding two further senses of the headword -- a floral decoration on columns and a location on the Athenian acropolis. (For this last, see ?Aristotle, Athenaion Politeia 7.4.) The 'pure gold' sense is attested in the Septuagint: Ecclesiastes 12.6.↩
- 1Western Roman Emperor 467-472 (OCD(4) p.97).
