Notes (2)

  1. 1The headword is a variant of leimw/n (lambda 364); cf. ps.-Herodian and the Lexica Segueriana. ↩
  2. 2Adler marks the second part of this entry as an interpolation. The comparative adjective leimake/steros is otherwise attested only in the Hippocratic Airs, Waters, and Places 13.13; LSJ s.v. registers it as a false reading for leimakwde/steros. ↩
