Notes:
[1] From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Knights 176, where the headword occurs. See also the
scholia to
Homer,
Iliad 18.292.
[2] The first of these etymological speculations plausibly links the headword verb and the noun
po/rnh; the second gives an alternative derivation for
po/rnh from the verb
pwro/w "petrify, harden."
