Βασιλίνδα· τὴν βασιλείαν.

Betacode

*basili/nda: th\n basilei/an.

The headword has been transmitted as basili/nda, evidently by corruption with beta 161 (q.v.). In fact this entry derives from Sophocles, Antigone 941 (web address 1), where the scholia gloss thus a noun in the accusative singular: perhaps basili/da or (Winckelmann) basileida=n.
