Notes:
[1] The headword is a first-declension noun. It (
planh/ths) and the glossing noun (
ce/nos) are associated in Basil of Seleucia,
Sermons.
[2]
*planh=tes accented thus occurs in the Hippocratic corpus; in Attic the nominative plural of the third declension noun/adjective
pla/nhs (
pi 1688) has proparoxytone accent. The quotation which follows has the accusative plural of the first-declension noun
planh/ths.
[3] Theophylact Simocatta,
Histories 2.18.26; cf. de Boor (109) and Whitby (71); quoted in part at
lambda 387. The lexicographer's interpolation
o( basileu\s here is a mistake; Simocatta's account concerns the Roman general in the east (586-588/589; cf.
phi 349) not his son, Roman emperor 610-641; cf.
eta 465 and PLRE IIIa s.v. Heraclius(4). In the winter of 587, the general Heraclius instituted harsh military disciplinary measures after assuming command of the eastern army; cf. PLRE IIIa s.v. Heraclius(3).

Job 3.9d
LXX, and in commentary on that passage.
