Notes:
[1] The headword is ambiguous in form. With the accent it has, it is the nominative singular of the feminine noun
xorhgi/a; this accords with the gloss. The form in the quotation which follows,
xorh/gia, is the accusative plural of the neuter noun
xorh/gion.

Polybius fr. 88 Büttner-Wobst. Büttner-Wobst notes that Schweighäuser, evidently aware of the headword's ambiguity, prefaced the quotation with the neuter noun as follows:
kai\ xorh/gion *polu/bios. See also
chi 395, the last lines of which Küster in his edition transposed to the end of this entry.
