Notes (1)
- For the headword verb
staqma/w cf. sigma 989, sigma 992; for the (substantive) glossing cf. already sigma 986, sigma 989. - 1Likewise in the Synagoge (sigma192) and Photius, Lexicon sigma495, where Theodoridis offers suggestions for the source of the headword participle: Gregory of Nazianzus, Orations 38.10 (PG 36.321a) or, as already suggested by Dindorf and Naber, Plato, Gorgias 465D. ↩
