Notes:
Likewise in ps.-
Zonaras. The headword is the masculine/feminine nominative singular (here feminine: see next note) of the two-termination adjective
a)/qruptos; cf.
theta 519,
theta 520,
theta 521.
[1] The second, third and fourth of these glosses show that the headword itself is feminine, as in the quotation given; cf.
theta 519.
