Notes (3)
- The headword -- also in Photius and elsewhere; cf. n. 2 below -- is present indicative active, third person singular, of
sugkrote/w . Evidently quoted from somewhere; there are numerous possibilities. - 1cf. Syntacticum Gudianum. In fact the headword verb normally takes the accusative, but LSJ s.v. cites a dative usage from the Septuagint (Numbers 24.10:
sunekro/thsen tai=s xersi/n ). ↩ - 2This first set of substantive glosses is also in Photius (sigma675 Theodoridis) and other lexica. ↩
- 3A close approximation of Agathias, Histories 2.1 (p. 40 line 2), which has
cunekrotou=nto instead ofsunekrotou=nto . It is the lexicographer who adds the explanatory phrase 'by Narses'. See also more fully at pi 3225. ↩
