Notes
- Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius tau290, where Theodoridis proffers two possibilities for the source of the headword (present middle participle of
tiqhne/w , masculine nominative singular): Clement of Alexandria, Paedagogus 3.8.41.1, and Philo Judaeus [of Alexandria], De posteritate Caini 181. Other options [DW] in e.g. Gregory of Nyssa, Origen, Basil of Caesarea, and Agathias.
cf. tau 573, tau 574.
