Notes (2)

  1. 1Likewise or similarly (first gloss only) in other lexica; references at Photius sigma194 Theodoridis. The second gloss is simply a (less Attic) variant of the headword sighlo/s. ↩
  2. 2Quotation -- featuring a noun related to the headword -- variously attributed to Iamblichus (Babyloniaca fr. 126 Habrich) and Arrian (Ab excessu Alexandri fr. 9). ↩
