Notes (2)

  1. 1The headword -- presumably extracted from the quotation given -- is imperfect, third person singular, of the verb u(pokine/w; see also under delta 1012. The present gloss does not seem to fit it very well. ↩
  2. 1Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. ↩
