Notes:
Like the next entry, this aims to distinguish mountain-words from mule-words. Chantraine is not sure why compounds of
o)reu/s have omega as a connecting vowel.
[1] Adler reports a similar entry in the
Ambrosian Lexicon.
[2] Similar entries in other lexica (e.g.
Hesychius omicron1135 s.v.
o)reioko/mos) and in a scholion on Lucian (31.22 Rabe). Manuscripts GFM and
Photius (
Lexicon omicron456 Theodoridis) omit the final genitive plural phrase
h)\ h(mio/nwn.
[3] This phrase in the dative must be quoted from somewhere; perhaps ps.-Lucian,
Amores 6.7, or (the Emperor) Julian,
The Deeds of the Emperor 17.38; cf.
omicron 546,
omicron 562.
