Notes

  1. The headword phrase, in the dative singular, is evidently quoted from somewhere. (The Byzantine historian Nicephorus Bryennius has a longer version of it (3.2), but he is later than the Suda.)
    Its adjective, which prompted the entry, is r(e/kths, equivalent to r(ekth/r, from the root *wreg-.
