Notes (2)

1Likewise in Hesychius (sigma3084), the Synagoge (sigma444) and Photius' Lexicon (sigma928 Theodoridis). ↩
2Similarly in Etymologicum Magnum 742.21 and (according to Adler) the Ambrosian Lexicon. Grammarians cite swreo/s as the origin of swro/s "by syncope," but the word is poorly attested outside lexicography. For swro/s cf. sigma 854. ↩
