The headword (for which cf. epsilon 3242, epsilon 3244, epsilon 3245, and indirectly epsilon 3246) is nominative singular feminine in Attic or Koine dialect. The quotation that follows presents the accusative singular epic/Ionic form.
1This glossing phrase is used again at zeta 135, kappa 2361, omicron 181. (For its adjective with other nouns cf. epsilon 793, epsilon 2497, lambda 219.) ↩
