Notes (3)

  1. 1On the headword adjective -- which can apply to husband, wife, or impersonal things such as a marriage-bed -- see generally LSJ s.v. Here (s the gloss shows) it is in the masculine accusative singular, quoted from Homer: see next note. ↩
  2. 2cf. scholion on Homer, Iliad 5.414, where the headword occurs (web address 1). ↩
  3. 3Quotation unidentifiable, though Jonathan Toup (1713 – 1785) attributed it to Polybius; cf. gamma 47. ↩
