Notes:
For the primary headword, here in the nominative plural, see LSJ s.v. purgi/skos, 2.
[1] Adler classifies this phrase as part of the headword. Both terms are linked by Artemidorus 1.74 as symbols of similar meaning that one might see in dreams; cf. under theta 362.
[2] Only (as a participle) in what follows: see next note.
[3] This cryptic title might be interpreted in a number of ways: Discourses that.. (a) remove towers (sc. the defences of the speaker's enemies), (b) reflect the towered-off (sc. secluded, ostracized) status of the speaker, (c) fight from the towers (sc. warding off attacks from the speaker's enemies), etc.
[4] cf. delta 523, which presents a longer excerpt from the same source (ascribed to Hesychius of Miletus 191), and clarifies the context somewhat. See also alpha 3493.
