Εὐάντυγα· εὐάξονα.

Notes

Same entry in other lexica. The headword is accusative singular of eu)a/ntuc, an adjective normally referring to a chariot (cf. alpha 2769); in this instance, however, it might be quoted from Paulus Silentiarius' poem on Hagia Sophia [Descriptio Sanctae Sophiae], line 254: korufh\n eu)a/ntuga nhou=.
