Notes
- The headword is the rare adjective
ei)da/limos , here in the feminine accusative plural; quoted from Homer, Odyssey 24.279 (web address 1). LSJ translates the adjective as if fromei)=dos "appearance"; the scholiast translates it as if fromoi)=da "I know." In context there, either interpretation is possible; but for the former cf. epsiloniota 19 (and Greek Anthology 7.491.4).
