Betacode

Notes

Same entry in Photius and elsewhere. The headword is masculine accusative singular or (more probably) neuter nominative/accusative singular of this adjective; it must be quoted from somewhere.
The etymology of the adjective (not attested before late antiquity) is literally: not something that a retailer, ka/phlos (kappa 336, kappa 337), would do; cf. especially kappa 334.
