Notes:
Same headword in
Hesychius (upsilon684), but different glossing.
[1] 'Resistance',
a)nti/pracis, does not seem to have lexical support, but see the next note.
[2] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the
Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. (Perhaps the 'plan' in the lost full context was one of resistance, leading to the attribution of that that sense to the term here.)
[3] Rather, Alexander of
Aphrodisias,
Commentary on Aristotle's Topica 158.18-19 (on
Aristotle,
Topics 111a14-33): the existence of contraries in a species requires that we examine the genus. The term also occurs in
alpha 979.
