Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica (see the references at
Photius kappa531 Theodoridis): the unfamiliar first and second perfect participle (masculine nominative singular) of
ka/mnw (LSJ entry at web address 1),
kekmhkw/s, is glossed with the more familiar present. The headword is thought to be quoted from the
Septuagint (
4 Maccabees 4.8).
[2] See e.g.
Homer,
Iliad 23.232.
[3] The last two verses of
Greek Anthology 6.66.9-10 (with
filomeide/sin misspelt), attributed to Paulus Silentiarius. They describe the calligrapher's tools which Callimenes dedicates: stylus, ruler, stone, inkwell, sponge, reed-sharpener.
