Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica and
scholia. The headword is present participle, masculine nominative singular, of the verb
prophlaki/zw. There are several attestations of it in Attic oratory; the one which has given rise to the present entry is probably
Aeschines 2.44 (see the
scholia thereto).
[2] cf.
upsilon 16.
[3] Similar material in the
Etymologicum Magnum (669.44-50, 690.5-9).
