Translation

This [word] is not used simply in reference to a brother or an elder man, but as a respectful form of address, with which a young man addresses an elder brother.¹
The plural [is sc. also] h)qei=e.² And the feminine [is] h)qei/a.³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἠθεῖε· τοῦτο οὔτε ψιλῶς ἐπὶ ἀδελφοῦ φέρεται οὔτε πρεσβύτου, ἀλλ' ἐπὶ σεπτικῇ προσηγορίᾳ, καθ' ἣν νέος πρεσβυτέρῳ ἀδελφῷ προσφωνεῖ. τὸ δὲ πλῆρες Ἠθεῖε. καὶ θηλυκὸν Ἠθεία.

Notes (2)

[1] The headword is vocative singular of h)qei=os; the variant h)qai=os also occurs. For this glossing materual cf. scholia on Homer, Iliad 6.518 (Paris addressing Hector) and 22.229 (Athena addressing Hector in the guise of Deiphobus): web addresses 1 & 2.
2The plural h)qai=oi is attested in Antimachus of Colophon (alpha 2681). ↩
3The Ionic/epic feminine h)qei/h occurs in the periphrasis h)qei/h kefalh/ (Homer, Iliad 23.94).
