Notes (1)
- The accusative plural headword is evidently extracted from the quotation given. These are the only extant instances of the masculine noun
skemmo/s , registered by LSJ s.v. as a late variant of the feminine nounske/yis (the second glossing term here). - 1Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. ↩
