Notes:
[1] (cf. generally epsilon 1929.) The headword, which must be quoted from somewhere, is present optative of e)pai+/w, third person singular. Same glossing in Hesychius and other lexica, and cf. also a scholion on Aristophanes, Wasps 515 (where another form occurs).
[2] Quotation (also in ps.-Zonaras) unidentifiable. (It includes a participle of the headword verb.) For lochagoi see generally lambda 706.
Keywords: biography; comedy; definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; historiography; history; military affairs
