Notes (3)

  1. 1Likewise or similarly in other lexica. The headword, perhaps though not necessarily quoted from somewhere, is aorist infinitive of the verb u(pe/rxomai. ↩
  2. 2Feminine genitive singular of this present participle, presumably extracted from the quotation which follows. ↩
  3. 3Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews 5.10 (5.1.2 Whiston) (web address 1), on Rahab. ↩
