Notes (2)

  1. 1Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius sigma859, where Theodoridis declares the headword participle -- aorist passive, masculine nominative singular, from sfa/llw (sigma 1716) -- quoted from Euripides, Phoenician Women 725; see the scholia thereto. ↩
  2. 2Again a quotation; extant possibilities begin with Thucydides and Xenophon. ↩
