Notes:
[1] =
Synagoge theta126;
Photius,
Lexicon theta257. The neuter plural headword and gloss both derive ultimately from
qu/w ('burn', 'make smoke', 'sacrifice'), but normally have the distinct meanings indicated by the translation. This gloss probably comes from commentary on classical authors who seem to blur the distinction; cf.
Pollux 1.26, commenting (inappropriately?) on
Thucydides 1.126.6 (web address 1); Galen,
