Notes:
Sophocles, Ajax 975-6 (web address 1), with scholion. For the headword, here, accusative singular, see also epsilon 2581.
[1] cf. scholion on Homer, Iliad 22.255, where the headword occurs in the nominative plural (web address 2).
[2] Sophocles' text has the genitive singular bow=ntos rather than the Suda's accusative plural.
