Notes (2)

  1. These rare words, with eta as the second vowel, must be variants of u(mnopole/w and u(mnopo/los; cf. upsilon 118 and Nicander, Alexipharmaka 629, with scholia.
    See also (and more generally) upsilon 112, upsilon 114, upsilon 115, upsilon 116.
  2. 1Present active imperative, third person singular, of the verb u(mnopole/w, attested only here and in similar lexicographical entries (Hesychius upsilon189, Synagoge upsilon30, Photius upsilon53 Theodoridis, etc.); evidently quoted from somewhere. ↩
  3. 2Attested only (in the vocative case) in one anonymous dedicatory epigram: Anthologiae Graecae Appendix 214.1. ↩
