In Herodotus [this means] using a word that is new.

Notes
- For this sense of the headword verb
kaino/w , here in its present infinitive, see LSJ s.v., II (=kaini/zw , kappa 1170). The gloss comes from a misguided gloss on Herodotus 2.100.3 (web address 1), where this infinitive does occur (of Nitokris inaugurating an underground chamber) buttw=| lo/gw| is part of an 'ostensibly a, actually b' contrast.
