Notes (2)

  1. The headword is accusative plural of the rare noun qea/mwn, evidently quoted from somewhere (probably a Christian theological text, e.g. John of Damascus or Maximus the Confessor).
    The Ionic form qeh/monas occurs in the Greek Anthology 16.365.3.
  2. 1Same or similar glossing in other lexica, beginning with Hesychius (theta158); see the references at Photius theta50 Theodoridis. ↩
  3. 2cf. Hesychius theta161 (s.v. qe/ama) and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon (72-3). ↩
