Likewise or similarly in other lexica; see the references at
Photius theta272 Theodoridis. The headword (present participle, masculine nominative plural, of the verb
qunna/zw) is quoted from
Aristophanes,
Wasps 1087. See further, next note.
cf. generally
theta 581,
theta 582,
theta 583,
theta 584.
[1] The unintentionally amusing
trio/dois ('at crossroads'), also in
Photius, is a mistake -- made subsequent to
Hesychius theta904 -- for the Aristophanic scholiast's
trio/dousi ('with fishgigs').
