1Likewise or similarly in other lexica. For this glossing cf. alphaiota 302. The present entry's ai(rou/menos is evidently extracted from somewhere. ↩
2The source of the quoted phrase, not identified by Adler, is identifiable via the TLG as Philostratus, Life of Apollonius of Tyana 4.39. ↩
3Quotation unidentifiable.
