Notes (4)

  1. 1Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius upsilon86 Theodoridis. The headword is a participle (in the masculine nominative singular) from the aorist u(peido/mhn. It should be u(pido/menos, but according to LSJ s.v. the participle (and the infinitive) are often written with epsiloniota in manuscripts, as if from a present u(pei/domai. ↩
  2. 2Evidently quoted from somewhere; extant possibilities include Euripides (Suppliant Women 694) and Dionysius of Halicarnassus (Roman Antiquities 8.30.5). ↩
  3. 3Aelian fr. 331 Domingo-Forasté (334 Hercher); Bruhn attributed the fragment to Iamblichus (Rheinisches Museum 45.279). ↩
  4. 4From upsilon 437. ↩
