Notes:
[1] The headword is present participle of
fronti/zw, masculine (or neuter) genitive plural; evidently quoted from somewhere; there are numerous possibilities.
[2] Same participle again, quoted from somewhere else.
[3] From a scholion on
Aristophanes,
Clouds 94 (web address 1), where the noun
frontisth/rion (
phi 734) occurs.
[4] From fuller
scholia on
Aristophanes,
Clouds 101, where this plural noun occurs. The compound
merimnofrontisth/s appears to be an Aristophanic coinage.
[5] Or, a sophism. Probably extracted from
Aristophanes,
Clouds 155. See in any event under
mu 486.
