Notes (3)

  1. 1Same or similar glossing in other lexica; see the references at Photius theta260 Theodoridis. The headword is not in LSJ, but see Lampe s.v. ↩
  2. 2Present middle participle of qumhde/w, masculine nominative plural; presumably from the quotation which follows. ↩
  3. 3Quotation -- corrupt, in Bernhardy's opinion -- unidentifiable. (Adler tentatively attributed it to Aelian.) ↩
