Notes (2)
- Similarly in syntactical lexica; see further, next note. For the verb, see also e.g. sigma 1577.
- 1Adler tentatively attributes this quotation to Cassius Dio (because this seems to be what the Syntacticum Laurentianum warrants). In any event, to understand 'clothes' does not sound right; Bernhardy attractively proposed 'words', i.e.
r(hmati/wn rather thani(mati/wn . ↩ - 2Job 38.31 LXX (where the verse is a question, "Did you understand ...?"). ↩
