Notes (1)
- Same entry in the Synagoge (sigma358), Photius (Lexicon sigma786 Theodoridis), and the Etymologicum Genuinum. Parts of the entry are paralleled in other lexica, as well as in scholia on Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 4.1210 (where the headword , accusative plural, occurs), and Homer, Iliad 22.261. See further, next note.
- 1Following Gaisford, Theodoridis suppresses this initial gloss, on the (reasonable) basis that it is glossing not the present entry's
sunh/monas but the impersonal accusative pluralsunhmosu/nas (cf. sigma 1562). ↩
