Notes:
[1] This very specific sense of the headword noun is not paralleled elsewhere.
[2] Aorist active imperative, second person singular, of a)narta/w; presumably quoted from somewhere. (Both this and the participle -- see next note -- have the same glossing in Photius and elsewhere.)
[3] Again, presumably quoted from somewhere.
