Notes:
On the Korybantes see already kappa 2114, kappa 2115. The Phrygian ecstatic dances were used to refer to frenzy in general.
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica; see the references at Photius kappa985 Theodoridis. The headword must be quoted from somewhere. Extant possibilities include: Philo Judaeus, On Dreams 2.1; Themistius, *basanisth\s h)\ filo/sofos 253a; Libanius, Letters 299.2; Palladius, Dialogue on the Life of Chrysostom p. 138 Coleman-Norton.
[2] Quotation unidentifiable. (This verb, first in Plato, also occurs in sigma 1297.)
[3] Masculine nominative singular of this present participle; cf. the plural forms korubantiw=ntes in Plato, Crito 54D, Ion 533E, 536C, and korubantiw/ntwn in Symposium 215E.
