Notes (2)

  1. 1The headword is aorist active infinitive of the verb zugo/w. It must be quoted from somewhere -- not the quotation given, which has the aorist participle. ↩
  2. 2An unidentifiable extract of iambic verse (conjecturally attributed by Adler to George of Pisidia, who is much quoted elsewhere in the Suda). ↩
