Notes (1)
- The headword adjective, dative singular, is presumably extracted from the quotation given.
- 1An approximation (the verb should be finite and interrogative: 'are you acting...?') of Aristophanes, Wasps 1413 (web address 1). For Ino see iota 382. (The allusion here is to a lost play of Euripides about her.) For summonsing in Athenian law cf. kappa 1792, kappa 1796. ↩
