Notes

  1. = Synagoge sigma8, Photius sigma26 Theodoridis; cf. Hesychius sigma54 (whence Etymologicum Magnum 709.18, etc.) as well as sigma 172, Hesychius sigma176 and sigma513. The headword, apparently an adjective in the nominative plural masculine, is presumably quoted from somewhere but is not independently attested. (Its etymology combines sigma 171 with ou)ra/, for which see under kappa 1403.)
