Notes:
[1] Apparently here (and in the parallel entry in ps.-
Zonaras) as a neuter singular, but otherwise unattested as such. (In ps.-Z. the gloss is simply 'heat'.)
[2] From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Plutus [
Wealth] 535, where this genitive plural occurs (in the rhetorical question "For what good could you procure, except burn-blisters out of a bath-house?"). This could be the genitive plural of
fwi/+s, fw/|s (
phi 634). See web address 1.
