Notes:
[1] This word
gnôma is the Hellenized form of the Latin
groma, which referred to the place where a surveyor's rod was set up to divide a Roman camp into four quarters.
[2] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the
Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable with certainty, though Favuzzi 461-463 now argues for Appian.
[3]
Aristophanes,
Clouds 431-2 (web address 1 below), with comment from the
scholia there; cf.
alpha 3604. This second part of the entry has no substantive connection with the first: the link is merely the accidental verbal resemblance between
gnw=ma and
gnw/mas.
