Notes:
[1] Aorist active participles (masculine nominative plural and masculine nominative singular) of dei/dw, glossed with the corresponding aorist passive participles of fobe/w; cf. generally epsilon 220, mu 879. Same or similar glossing in other lexica. Both participles are presumably quoted from somewhere, the singular perhaps (though not demonstrably) from one of the three quotations given here.
[2] Herodotus 7.163.1.
[3] Appian, Celtica fr. 20 Viereck-Roos-Gabba.
