Translation

[Meaning] most/very unsharpened.¹
Also [sc. attested is the superlative] a)bapto/tatos.²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἄβαπτος· ἀστομώτατος. καὶ Ἀβαπτότατος.

Betacode

*)/abaptos: a)stomw/tatos. kai\ *)abapto/tatos.

Notes (2)

The headword is unattested outside lexicography.
1Similar glossing in other lexica (references at Photius alpha28 Theodoridis), except that the original form of the gloss, in Cyril, seems simply to be a)sto/mwtos ('unsharpened'), not this superlative of a different but potentially synonymous adjective a)/stomos. Cyril's reading has been adopted in Latte's text of Hesychius and Theodoridis' of Photius. ↩
2Only in ms A (= Parisinus 2625). This superlative form of the headword is attested only here.
