*dai+ktame/nois: a)nairoume/nois.
Notes
- Likewise in ps.-Zonaras.
LSJ registers the worddai+kta/menos, -h, -on -- originally two words:dai+/ +kta/menos -- in Homer, Iliad 21.146 & 301. In both contexts it is genitive plural (part of the phrasedai+ktame/nwn ai)zhw=n ), and both the scholia to line 146 and Hesychius gloss it, broadly, as here. The Suda's dative plural must be quoted from somewhere else.
