In its entirety the entry resembles a scholion to
Sophocles,
Ajax 61, where the headword occurs (web address 1). See, however, n.3 below.
[1] Up to this point the entry =
Lexica Segueriana 217.9 Bachmann (and
Photius,
Lexicon epsilon679 Theodoridis). Adler also adduces the unedited
Ambrosian Lexicon (709) as a comparandum.
[2] Apparently under the mistaken impression that the verb
lwfa/w (with omega in the first syllable:
lambda 744,
lambda 745, and cf.
lambda 746) is related to
lo/fos ('back of the neck', where the yoke rides on an animal) with omicron in the first syllable (
lambda 703,
lambda 704). Chantraine s.v.
lwfa/w. See further, next note.
[3] In place of 'reasonably' (
eu)lo/gws) the scholion to
Sophocles,
Ajax 61 has
eu)lo/fws ('patiently', lit. 'in a strong-necked fashion'), which seems more pertinent but reflects folk-etymologizing (see previous note).
