Notes (1)
- The headword phrase derives from one in Artemidorus 1.64 ('scrapers and strigils and wipers indicate servants'), and the other two terms occur there also.
The first headwordstelgi/des is nominative plural ofstelgi/s , a variant ofstleggi/s (sigma 1125). - 1This last clause is lacking, Adler reports, in ms F. ↩
