Notes:
[1] =
Synagoge pi713,
Photius pi1379; cf.
Hesychius pi3924. Headword and gloss are feminine accusative plural, deriving from commentary to
Euripides,
Orestes 408, where the headword appears in this form. For the gloss see also
scholia to Lucian,
Icaromenippus 2, and to
Thucydides 1.49.
[2] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the
Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable (but also quoted, with minor variations, by
Eustathius,
Commentary on Homer's Iliad 2.5.10-11).
