[2] This sentence is problematic as it stands (no such sense is attested in LSJ s.v., nor could it be easily imagined). Adler's apparatus notes mss variants for 'where' (
a)/pou,
o(/pws), as well as Bernhardy's wish to delete 'meaning'.
Etymologicum Magnum 689.11 has
e)pi/rrhma/ e)sti poio/thtos, 'an adverb of quality'.
[3] cf.
pi 1215.
