Notes:
For this headword see already kappa 1550.
The initial glossing of the present entry, not commented on by Adler, stems from Aristophanes, Ecclesiazusae 30-31 ("time to go, as the herald has just crowed the second time, as we were setting out": web address 1); a scholiast there glosses 'herald' with 'cockerel/rooster'. As regards the additional sentence, Jonathan Toup (1713–1785) associated it with Mark 14.72, where Peter denies Christ three times before the cock crows twice (web address 2).
