Notes (2)

  1. 1cf. under tau 394 and tau 403. For the genitive, cf. under epsiloniota 29. ↩
  2. 2This phrase in the dative plural is attested in two texts not much (if at all) earlier than the Suda. However, it may well be an established quotation. (It seems to be the last two feet of a line of hexameter verse.) ↩
