Notes:
[1] The headword is neuter plural nominative/accusative of the adjective
e)rumno/s; cf.
epsilon 3107 (for both headword and gloss). It must be quoted from somewhere;
Xenophon,
Anabasis 1.2.8 or 5.5.2, to judge by the
scholia there.
[2] Apparently a Latin word: see
alpha 840 (also
alpha 203 and
epsilon 52).
[3] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the
Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable.
Keywords: definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; historiography; history; military affairs; science and technology
