Notes
- Same entry, according to Adler, in the unpublished Lexicon codicis Barocciani 50.
The vocabulary of this whole entry is unusual, including the nouna)llhloklhronomi/a (a few instances in legal sources); cf. very generally kappa 1781. The headword itself (attested in this form only here) is clearly related to the Latin word uxor and its adjective uxorius. Lewis & Short s.v. the latter quotes the phrase in arbitrio rei uxoriae (twice in Cicero), which may be relevant; note also abhorrens ab re uxoria (Terence). The phrasee)pi\ th=s r(ei+oucwri/ae (Latin in Greek letters) is reconstructed from abbreviations in the scholia on imperial laws (Basilica) 17.1.38. Küster suggested emending the Suda's lemma tor(eoucwri/a orr(e\s ou)cwri/a on the basis of legal glosses (not yet available in the TLG).
