*)amfi\ to\ luko/fws: peri\ th\n au)gh/n.
Notes
- Same entry in other lexica (references in Photius alpha1371 Theodoridis) -- but despite this gloss,
luko/fws can refer to either morning or evening twilight: see LSJ s.v. and lambda 826.
An entry deriving ultimately from the phrasea)mfilu/kh nu/c in Homer, Iliad 7.433; see already alpha 1743.
