Notes (2)

  1. cf. generally theta 25.
  2. 1Same or similar glossing in other lexica, and cf. the scholia to Homer, Iliad 22.87 (where qa/los occurs: web address 1). For 'olive-tree' see epsilon 764. ↩
  3. 2Quotation unidentifiable. (Kuster, as Adler notes, thought that it would be improved by emending nominative e)/xontes to accusative e)/xontas.) ↩
