Notes:
From the
scholia to
Sophocles,
Ajax 297 (web address 1), where the accusative plural headword occurs, properly, as a two-word phrase. The point of the comment, nevertheless, is not that the phrase should be written as a single compound word; instead, the commenter is concerned that someone might think that Ajax kills not herdsman-dogs (
ku/nas both=ras) but both dogs,
ku/nas, and herdsmen,
both=ras.

beta 405.
