Notes:
Same entry in Photius (xi7 Theodoridis); headword -- which must be quoted from somewhere (perhaps Gregory of Nazianzus' 15th Oration, In Praise of the Maccabees) -- and initial gloss already similarly in Hesychius (xi14).
[1] For this equivalence see already xi 2.
[2] Sophocles fr.458 Pearson (498 Radt), with the aorist active infinitive of the headword verb; cf. under xi 2.
