Notes
- The headword adjective, here in the neuter singular, is not otherwise attested, and on the face of it looks like a verbal adjective derived from
lai/w (lambda 176), either "carried, seized" or "destroyed". There are no obvious parallels to the entry in other lexica (although cf. lambda 177). One possibility is that this is a corrupt Doricism forlh|sto/s "seized as booty", although that requires an overly literal reading ofa)xqeino/n .
