Notes:
The headword participle, masculine nominative plural, is similarly glossed in
Photius (mu572 Theodoridis) and other lexica. It must be quoted from somewhere; perhaps
Polybius 6.25.7 (of the leather coverings of early Roman cavalry shields), or
Josephus,
Jewish War 3.530 (of corpses).
A similar gloss appears in the
scholia on
Nicander,
Theriaca 308 (where the lemma is
mudo/wntes).
cf. generally
mu 1373,
mu 1374,
mu 1375.
[1] The present participle
bre/xontes is transmitted in the lexica; Theodoridis (above) declares his support for Naber's emendation to aorist
braxe/ntes.

Greek Anthology 5.199.3-4 (
Hedylus), Aglaonice dedicates clothing items after attending a symposium and then spending the night with her lover; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 100) and (vol. II, 290). 'Kypris' is Aphrodite (
kappa 2738). Although they hesitate to accept it (ibid.), Gow and Page note that in a lemma the
Anthologia Palatina scribe designated C (
the Corrector) identified Aglaonice as a hetaera (cf.
epsilon 3265 and
epsilon 3266); cf. (vol. I, 100).
