Notes (1)

The headword, extracted from the quotation given, is feminine genitive singular of this adjective.
1Greek Anthology 6.179.1-2 (Archias). The poem reads: "To rustic Pan three brothers dedicate these gifts each from a different kind of netting that provides sustenance [for life] -- Pigres the fowling noose that catches by the neck, Damis his nets for the beasts of the forest, and Cleitor his for those of the sea. Send success to their nets by air, sea, and land" (trans. W.R. Paton, Loeb Classical Library). Another extract from this epigram is at delta 363.
