Notes
- Same or similar entry in other lexica. Latte on Hesychius epsilon3598 claims the headword adjective to be quoted from the Septuagint (4 Maccabees 9.13); alternatively, from a medical writer.
This sense of the first glossing adjective,e)kmelh/s , is not mentioned by LSJ, but the related verbe)kmeli/zw "dismember" is reported, again from 4 Maccabees (10.5, 10.8).
