Notes (1)
- The headwoerd is neuter singular of
toioutw/dhs , a word not attested before the C2 CE, and rare even then and thereafter. Presumably extracted from the quotation given (though Lucian, Piscator 20, has another instance). - 1Quotation unidentifiable. (Attributed to Aelian by the eighteenth-century Dutch scholar L.K. Valckenaer, but Adler notes Bernhardy's rejection of this.) ↩
