Notes:
[1] For the desiderative verb
qanata/w or
qanatia/w, cf.
theta 43. This is its present participle, masculine nominative singular; same or similar glossing in other lexica, and cf. also the
scholia to
Plato,
Phaedo 64B (where
qanatw=si occurs); evidently quoted from somewhere.
[2]
Josephus,
Jewish War 3.208 (web address 1); cf.
Etymologicum Magnum 442.53.
[3]
Aeschylus fr. 161.1 [fr.
Niobe 168 Hermann], from numerous
scholia (on
Homer,
Iliad 1.158,
Sophocles,
Electra 139, and
Aristophanes,
Frogs 1392) and also in
Stobaeus,
Anthology 4.51.1; cf.
delta 1451,
mu 1235,
pi 14.
[4] Same glosses -- on the present participle of the verb
qanato/w ["I put to death"] -- in
Photius and the
Lexica Segueriana (except for
ai)tiatikh=| which is added from a syntactic source). See also
epsilon 295.

Josephus passage already quoted.
