Notes (1)
- Same or similar entry in other lexica, and cf. also the scholia to Plato, Laws 805E, where the genitive singular of the primary headword occurs.
cf. generally tau 41, tau 44. - 1Both of these nouns (and their glosses) are accusative singulars, evidently quoted from somewhere; there are numerous possibilities. ↩
