*eu)/soia: eu)sqe/neia. zw=nta/ t' eu)soi/as xa/rin.

[1] Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus 390 (web address 1), with a gloss on this very rare noun derived from the scholia thereto -- though the surviving scholia read (probably correctly) eu)qe/neia ('abundance') rather than eu)sqe/neia ('robustness'). Compare Hesychius epsilon7192.
