Notes (1)
- The unglossed headword, nominative plural, appears in the quotation in the genitive plural; but see next note.
- 1A clause -- here abbreviated and carelessly reproduced -- from the will of the Peripatetic scholarch Lykon (OCD4 Lyco): Diogenes Laertius 5.69-74, at 72. By this stage in the sentence the beneficiary is the unnamed wife of 'Kallinikos' (= Kallinos), and the first of the items she is to have is
*rodiakw=n zeu=gos , i.e. a pair of Rhodian [cups]. ↩
