Notes (1)

  1. The headword is the aorist passive participle, feminine dative singular, of the verb te/mnw, I cut, I hew; see generally LSJ s.v. Hesychius has this same headword and (see n. 1 below) gloss, but in the nominative case -- probably quoted from Hesiod, Works and Days 420 (of timber). The dative case occurs in Christian liturgical poetry, referring to the splitting of the Red Sea.
  2. 1The gloss is the aorist passive participle, feminine dative singular (but see above), of the verb ko/ptw, I strike, I smite, I knock down; see generally LSJ s.v. ↩
