Notes:
Same or similar material in other lexica; references at Photius alpha163 Theodoridis (and see also alpha164). The headword is the aorist infinitive of the verb a)ga/llw, probably quoted from Euripides, Medea 1027; cf. the scholia there.
See also alpha 218.
[1] On the role of woolly wreathes in ancient ritual see LSJ (web address 1) and epsiloniota 184, pi 1304, delta 589. A Homeric "epigram" is also called ei)resiw/nh and designed to accompany the procession (omicron 251 [note 35]).
[2] Eupolis fr. 119 Kock, now 131 K.-A. (using, in fact, a compound of the headword verb).
[3] An approximation of Aristophanes, Peace 396-398.
[4] Hermippus fr. 8 Kock (and K.-A.).
