Notes (2)

  1. 1= Photius upsilon78, where Theodoridis declares the headword -- aorist middle participle, masculine nominative singular, of u(pa/rxw -- to be extracted from Plato, Timaeus 41C. ↩
  2. 2Quotation unidentifiable (but from an historical narrative of Greek history in the late fifth century BCE; cf. Thucydides 8.5-7). Here the participle, genitive plural, is active voice. ↩
