Notes (2)

The headword is masculine nominative singular of this adjective; same or similar glossing in other lexica.
1An approximation of Polybius 3.93.1 (which inter alia has the related adverb) on Fabius (Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus 'Cunctator', the 'Delayer'; cf. OCD(4) p. 564 and epsilon 695; great-grandson of the Fabius of phi 3). ↩
2Perhaps extracted from Polybius (see previous note) but more probably from somewhere else.
