Notes (1)
- Same entry in Photius (sigma74 Theodoridis). If this term is the masculine noun it is taken to be in LSJ, such entries must be quoting, as their headword, its accusative case; likewise Comica Adespota fr. 1137 Kock (536 K.-A.), contextless; but it seems to be regarded as neuter by J. Henderson, The Maculate Muse (New Haven 1975) 146 #188 (and 148 n.205).
