Notes (1)
- The headword
tautoe/peia is a feminine noun, distinguishable in Greek (though hardly in English) fromtautologi/a ; for the latter, see under alpha 628 and pi 84.
The accusative singular of the headword is attested twice in Cyril of Alexandria; otherwise it does not appear outside lexicography. Hesychius has the nominative plural, glossed withtautologi/ai . - 1This infinitive is likewise attested only in Cyril of Alexandria and Hesychius (who glosses it with
to\ au)to\ le/gein ). ↩
