Notes:
The headword adjective, genitive plural, is presumably extracted from the quotation given.
[1] Greek Anthology 7.206.1-2 (Damocharis); already at alpha 1034 and alpha 1292.
[2] This addendum refers to the adjective *)aktaioni/dwn in the quotation; in the pentameter of this elegaic couplet *)aktaiwni/dwn would have been unmetrical.
