Notes (3)

The headword, originally an adjective, can also be used as a substantive.
1Same glossing in other lexica, and cf. the scholia to Homer, Iliad 24.230, where this accusative plural occurs (web address 1). ↩
2Greek Anthology 5.294.3-4 (Agathias Scholasticus), the poet surreptitiously enters the bedchamber of his beloved. Find further extracts from this epigram at epsilon 1946, kappa 1886, lambda 352, lambda 731, and chi 21. ↩
3Likewise (but glossed) in Hesychius.
