Notes
- In the Roman army (transliteration of Latin centurio). See generally OCD(4) s.v.
Same entry in other lexica (see the references at Photius kappa572 Theodoridis), all taken to be generated by the well-known occurrence of the headword in the New Testament (Mark 15:39, the centurion present at the Crucifixion).
