Notes:
[1] All these glosses, like the headword itself, are masculine (in the nominative singular) and are therefore descriptions of persons.
[2] Quotation unidentifiable. (Adler suggests
Aelian.) It uses the verb
spouda/zw (cf.
sigma 967) rather than the adjective
spoudai=os.
[3] Abbreviated from
Aelian fr. 83 Hercher (on L. Annaeus
Cornutus); see in full at
kappa 2098.
