Notes
- Same or similar glossing in other lexica, including Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon, and several Homeric scholia. The headword -- imperfect indicative middle/passive (epic/Ionic), third person singular, of
qwrh/ssw -- is surely quoted from Homer, Iliad, 5.737 (= 8.388), where Athena arrays herself for battle; hence the translation here.
cf. generally theta 443.
