Notes (1)
- Evidently (cf. alpha 2612, epsilon 953, pi 3197, sigma 1246) a military definition; but this adverb also describes a mason's epigraphic style -- associated especially with classical Athens -- where the letters are aligned in vertical columns as well as horizontal rows.
- 1Glossing phrase lacking, Adler reports, in mss AF; but it does appear in Hesychius, with the addition of
kata\ stoixei=on . ↩
