*ei)/las: a)ge/las.
Notes
- Likewise or similarly in other lexica. The headword is accusative plural of
ei)/lh (a variant ofi)/lh ). It must be quoted from somewhere; Latte on Hesychius s.v. says the Septuagint, while noting that in 2 Maccabees 5.3ei)/las is merely a variant reading of the preferredi)/las .
