------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transcriber’s Note: This version of the text cannot represent certain typographical effects. Italics are delimited with the ‘_’ character as _italic_. 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’.
