Notes:
[1] Thus far the entry =
Synagoge,
Photius mu424 Theodoridis; cf.
Hesychius mu1292. The secondary headword
mhtrolw/|as (attested in e.g.
1 Timothy 1:9), translated here as "mother-beater", is in fact an orthographic variant for the primary one,
mhtraloi/as (attested in e.g.
Aeschylus,
Lysias and
Plato). For yet another mother-abuse word see
mu 1007.
[2] From the dream-interpretations, in verse, ascribed to
Astrampsychus (
