Notes (2)

  1. The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is aorist passive participle, masculine accusative plural, of the verb swfroni/zw (sigma 884).
  2. 1For this glossing cf. the scholia to Thucydides 6.78.2, where swfronisqw=men occurs. ↩
  3. 2Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. ↩
