Abridged from Harpokration s.v., an entry generated by
Dinarchus fr. VI.4 Conomis.
The more usual form of this verb (and its cognates) is
a)rrhforei=n (cf. LSJ [web address 1]). The corrupt form given here
a)rrhnofore=in also occurs in some of the manuscripts of Harpokration, but both Dindorf and Keaney adopt the reading
a)rrhforei=n. For more information on the Arrhephoria see
Pausanias 1.27.3 (web address 2), and cf. also
alpha 3863.
