Notes:
[1] Likewise, according to Adler, in the
Ambrosian Lexicon (1557).
[2] Most probably, what we would call the spine; the same term is used to refer to the narrow edge of stone stelae; see LSJ s.v. (web address 1). Note that this presupposes a modern, codex-style 'book' rather than a papyrus roll (
beta 275).
[3] Quotation unidentifiable (Adler suggests
Aelian.)
