[1] The headword, present middle/passive participle of palu/nw in the feminine genitive singular, presumably comes from the quotation given; but for this gloss cf. the scholia to Homer, Iliad 10.7 and to Aristophanes, Clouds 965. See also under kappa 2389.
[2] Part of Menander Protector fr. 10.1 Blockley (112-113); part of the narrative contrived to explain the deaths of most of the Turkish envoys during the embassy of 567-568, who actually perished from poisoned food, not due to the exceptionally hot and dry Persian climate; cf. nu 439. Find further excerpts from this fragment at theta 509, pi 88, and omega 116.
