Notes:
The headword is a masculine noun in the nominative (and vocative) singular. See generally LSJ s.v.
prw/n (the contracted form noted here).
[1] First, appended to the headword, is its genitive singular form as instanced in the quotation; the Suda (here and
pi 2954) gives its only other attestations (Gow and Page, vol. II, pp. 254-5). [In her critical apparatus Adler reports that ms F transmits
pre/wnos.] Then follow the contracted form in the nominative and its associated genitive. For all this, Adler cites for comparison ('cf.')
Lexicon Ambrosianum 1191.

fre/atos,
from a well), and
sigma 937 (Gow and Page, vol. I, pp. 224-5). [Adler reports that ms G reads
to/son and ms A omits
u(/dwr.] See further extracts from this epigram at
