Notes (2)

  1. Probably derived from commentary on Homer, Odyssey 13.332, where the headword occurs (web address 1). For apparently related words see epsilon 2216, epsilon 2219. Adler reports that ms V reads (homophonous) e)ph/tus for the headword.
  2. 1This word (which can also mean erudite, learned; and cf. under lambda 643) is used, among others, to gloss the term in Hesychius epsilon4603, the Ambrosian Lexicon (1349), and the scholia to Homer (above). ↩
  3. 2This word is used to gloss the term at Etymologicum Magnum 356.46; Ambrosian Lexicon 1371. ↩
