Notes (2)

  1. The unglossed headword is nominative singular of this feminine noun; its only literary attestation is the accusative singular in the passage quoted.
  2. 1Aristophanes, Wasps 213; cf. Photius, Lexicon sigma559 Theodoridis. ↩
  3. 2This comment -- of doubtful relevance -- is lacking in mss AF, according to Adler (who indicates it as an interpolation). ↩
