cf. the
scholia to Aelius Aristeides 139.1, and see also
mu 1048, where one finds similar treatment of
mikrolo/gos, of which the current headword is a variant. So also
Phrynichus the Atticist fr. 336;
Hesychius mu1342;
Synagoge mu220;
Photius,
Lexicon mu448 Theodoridis.
[1] Quotation (possibly transmitted, in Adler's view, via the
Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. Adler reports, with apparent approval, that Hemsterhuis connected it with a longer quotation in
tau 888 (identified as
Damascius,
Life of Isidore fr. 24 Asmus, 51 Zintzen, 26C Athanassiadi; also quoted at
upsilon 739), though the current quotation would be rather redundant if it occurred in the same passage. The quotation does not contain any form of the headword, but describes the actions of a person who might be characterized by the headword.
