Notes
- Same entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon. Headword and gloss are etymologically closer in the Greek than they sound in translation.
The headword is better spellede(rpustiko/s (as twice under sigma 158, and see generally LSJ s.v.), but the alphabetization requires eta here. See also epsilon 3077.
