Notes
- This entry, and its predecessor in Photius (sigma605 Theodoridis), are derived from the entry
stratei/a in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon (a fact which does not, however, guarantee that the ultimate origin of the entry is in Plato). On this basis, Theodoridis prints the headword in Photius asstratei/a , although it would be out of alphabetical order. (Both these lexica have entries forstratia/ with the gloss that appears in the Suda at the beginning of sigma 1175.)
*stratei/a , as the nomen actionis from the verbstrateu/w (sigma 1164), usually means an expedition or military campaign.*stratia/ can bear this meaning, but primarily means an army. See LSJ s.v.stratei/a (end), and cf. sigma 1165, sigma 1166.
