Notes:
[1] From a scholion on Aristophanes, Knights 18, where the headword adverb, a comic coinage, occurs (web address 1). For Euripides see generally epsilon 3695.
[2] Aelian fr. 157 Domingo-Forasté (154 Hercher). Adler notes the observation of Perizonius [Jakob Voorbroek, 1651–1715] that this sentence refers to a different (missing) headword.
[3] Aristophanes, Wasps 1317 (web address 2); it contains ko/myos, the commonplace component of the headword.
