Notes:
Same or similar material in other lexica; references at
Photius alpha163 Theodoridis (and see also alpha164). The headword is the aorist infinitive of the verb
a)ga/llw, probably quoted from
Euripides,
Medea 1027; cf. the
scholia there.
See also
alpha 218.
[1] On the role of woolly wreaths in ancient ritual see LSJ (web address 1) and
epsiloniota 184,
pi 1304,
delta 589. A Homeric "epigram" is also called
ei)resiw/nh and designed to accompany the procession (
omicron 251 [note 35]).
[2]
Eupolis fr. 119 Kock, now 131 K.-A. (using, in fact, a compound of the headword verb).
[3] An approximation of
Aristophanes,
Peace 396-398.
