Notes (2)

  1. 1Similar entries in the Ambrosian Lexicon (according to Adler) and ps.-Zonaras. The unglossed headword, evidently quoted from somewhere, is a perfect participle of qnh/skw in the masculine accusative singular (or neuter nominative/accusative plural); cf. tau 231 and tau 233. ↩
  2. 2Aelian fr. 326 Domingo-Forasté (328 Hercher), quoted again (abridged) at sigma 52. ↩
