Notes (3)

  1. 1Likewise in the Synagoge (upsilon15) and Photius' Lexicon (upsilon33 Theodoridis). The headword -- neuter nominative/accusative singular or masculine accusative singular of this adjective -- must be quoted from somewhere. See also upsilon 83, with a different spelling. ↩
  2. 2Presumably extracted from the quotation which follows (where the plural cannot readily be conveyed in translation). Similar entry in the Ambrosian Lexicon (according to Adler); cf. upsilon 127. ↩
  3. 3Psalm 16.14 LXX (variant reading). ↩
