Notes (2)

  1. cf. generally sigma 1598, sigma 1611, sigma 1613, xi 149, xi 151.
  2. 1Same glossing in other lexica; and cf. the scholia to Thucydides 5.83.4, where accusative cunwmosi/an occurs (web address 1). ↩
  3. 2Carelessly copied from glosses on Herodotus 1.65, which actually concern the rare dialectal variant sunwmoti/a (although Herodotus uses e)nwmoti/a). It is not extant in any 'Attic' writers, but see Asclepiodotus 2.2, and note Ruhnken's proposal (as reported by Adler) to emend 'Attikois' here to 'Taktikois'. ↩
