Notes

  1. Same or similar entry in other lexica: see the references at Photius lambda385 Theodoridis. From the scholia to Homer, Iliad 4.49, where the genitive case of the headword noun occurs. Related to the verb lei/bw (lambda 357, lambda 358).
    For the same two glosses (but in reverse order) see mu 129, and for 'drink-offering' see sigma 958.
    cf. lambda 748.
