Notes
- Likewise in the Synagoge (sigma442) and Photius' Lexicon (sigma922 Theodoridis). The headword -- aorist active participle, masculine nominative singular -- of
e)/xw -- is presumably quoted from somewhere (there are many possibilities from Homer on). The gloss is simply a compound of the headword; cf. Hesychius sigma3054. For the plural, see sigma 1806.
