Translation

[Meaning something] freshly-dead, both moist and undefiled.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἑρσῆεν· πρόσφατον, ἔνυγρόν τε καὶ ἀμόλυντον.

Betacode

*(ersh=en: pro/sfaton, e)/nugro/n te kai\ a)mo/lunton.

Notes

Likewise or similarly in other lexica and grammars. The headword, neuter nominative/accusative singular of e)rsh/eis, must be quoted from somewhere but is not independently attested. For the glossing cf. also a scholion on Homer, Iliad 24.757, where the masculine nominative singular occurs, of Hector's corpse (web address 1).
See also epsilon 3084.
