Due note ad Esichio K 2238–2239

In Hsch. K 2238-2239 the paradosis of both the transmitted lemmata (καραισταί and καραιστής) is surely corrupt and has been corrected by Musurus respectively in κεραϊσταί (2238) and κεραϊστής (2239). However, Musurus’ corrections do not offer a good text since the lemmata do not agree with the following glosses. The aim of this article is to reconsider the correction κεράστης already suggested by Schmidt for K 2239, neglected by both the recent editions of Hesychius. On this basis, I similarly propose to correct the preceding lemma 2238 in κεράσται.
