Notes (2)

  1. 1Adler cites Lexicon Octateuch. 6.645, presumably generated by Exodus 12.34 & 39 LXX; cf. in any event alpha 3432 (and zeta 197 for 'leaven'). ↩
  2. 2Anecdota Oxoniensia 3.238.19. Accented thus, it is not clear which of the three nouns spelled dais (with different accentuation, none of them like this) is meant here. ↩
