Notes:
Discussion of variant spellings of a compound adjective, repeated at pi 3223. Adler (who reports that the entry is lacking in mss AFV) attributes both quotations to 'the Byzantine age'. See further below.
[1] Canon 23 for August 20, ode 7 (Analecta Hymnica Graeca). Compare Exodus 3.2 LXX. The burning bush is traditionally regarded as a type of the Mother of God.
[2] On the Babylonian furnace, see e.g. beta 11.
