Notes:
[1] For this present participle, and the same pair of glosses (each corresponding to one of the headword translations, and cf. LSJ s.v.), see
Timaeus'
Platonic Lexicon. If it is quoted from
Plato -- not always a certainty with
Timaeus -- the likely context is
Meno 98B.
[2] Quotation unidentifiable. (Adler suggests
Aelian.) The transmitted plural
fa/smata may be corrected either to the singular
fa/sma or better (as suggested by an anonymous commentator in Adler's copy),
u(/fasma (
upsilon 702), i.e. woven cloth.
[3] Arrian on
Demosthenes: see
delta 455.
