*)elattou=mai: genikh=|.

The Attic form for e)lassou=mai (from e)la/ttwn / e)la/sswn).
LSJ notes two relevant usages with the genitive: of person and of thing. Probably the former has given rise to the present entry, as exemplified in Demosthenes 18.3 (polla\ me\n ou)=n e)/gwg' e)lattou=mai kata\ toutoni\ to\n a)gw=n' *ai)sxi/nou).
