Notes (2)

  1. 1The headword is nominative plural of r(hch/nwr (an epithet of Achilles in Homer and Hesiod). Same or similar glossing in other lexica (references at Photius rho94 Theodoridis), and cf. also the scholia on the phrase met' *)axillh=a r(hch/nora in Homer, Iliad 7.228 and 16.146. ↩
  2. 2Greek Anthology 7.142.1-2 (Antiphilus of Byzantium). ↩
