Notes:
[1] The headword is neuter nominative (and accusative) plural of u(phne/mios, presumably extracted from the quotation given (Julian [the emperor], Orations 7.206c). See also epsilon 2185; more about this headword at upsilon 424, upsilon 425, upsilon 426.
[2] In the text of Julian, tauti\ instead of a)nti\: "these windy and monstrous images and shadows of the true understanding."
