Notes:
Almost identical entry in the
Lexica Segueriana (321.18) and
Photius,
Lexicon (omicron549 Theodoridis), though there the first participle in the long headword phrase (repeated in the glossing phrase) is
kakwqei=sai; the Suda has
kakopaqou=sai and
kakw=s paqou=sai. Either way, the unidentifiable headword phrase must be quoted from somewhere.
These participles are in the feminine nominative plural, but they are less likely to refer to women than to impersonal things that are grammatically feminine. For
kakwqei=sai cf. e.g.
Pausanias 1.20.7 (
Athens); for
kakopaqou=sai cf. e.g.
Polybius 5.30.5 (cities).
