*)aero/en: to\ me/ga.
Notes
- Same entry in ps.-Zonaras; longer one in Hesychius, who gives two other synonyms before the present one (
me/lan ,baqu/ ).
An oddity; possibly a gloss on the occurrence of the neuter singular headword in a writer using the Doric dialect. (The epic form ish)ero/en ; cf. eta 126.)
In extant Greek the only possibility is Telestes [tau 265] fr. 1c.2 (= Page, PMG 805 = Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 14.617A [14.7 Kaibel]), where the headword is an emendation, for the transmitteda)erqe/n , by Bergk; it qualifies "breath" (in context of aulos-playing).
