Transcriber’s Note:
The original text was printed in two columns, which cannot be replicated here.
As is common in dictionaries, each column is headed with a three-letter indication of the first and last articles on that page. This feature is not feasible here.
Minor errors, attributable to the printer, have been corrected. Please see the transcriber’s [note] at the end of this text for details regarding the handling of any textual issues encountered during its preparation.
There are several unusual Greek characters employed in this text:
| ȣ | ligature of ‘ου’ |
| ϛ | stigma, a ligature of ‘στ’ |
| ϖ | a cursive variant of ‘π’, almost always used as the first character of a word. |
| ϐ | a cursive variant of ‘β’, used in any position other than the first character, which appears as ‘β’. |
