Notes (2)

  1. 1In the Greek the point being made is that the feminine headword stefa/nh can mean the same as masculine ste/fanos (for which see sigma 1069). ↩
  2. 2Same statement in other lexica, and cf. the scholia to Homer, Iliad 7.12 (which itself illustrates a different sense: the brim of a helmet). ↩
