Notes:
[1] The headword, which has the same glossing in some other lexica (references at
Photius epsilon454 Theodoridis), is third person singular, aorist indicative active, of
kni/zw (LSJ entry at web address 1). It must be extracted from somewhere (other than the quotation given, which has the corresponding imperfect); Theodoridis suggests
Pindar,
Pythian Odes 11.23, but the possibilities also include
Aristophanes,
Wasps 1286. For the verb see already
epsilon 514 and again
kappa 1874 and
kappa 1875.
[2] Appian,
Iberica 150; again under
sigma 1693.
