Notes:
The accent of the neuter-plural headword should be circumflex, not acute (as it is again at
chi 299 and
chi 301). The acute accent is associated with a corruption which mistakes the plural of
xi=dron for a feminine singular noun (
chi 300); see LSJ s.v.
xi=dron at web address 1 below.
For this entry see also (e.g.)
Hesychius, ps.-
Zonaras 1853, and the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Knights 806 (where the headword occurs).
