Notes

For the abstract noun cognate with this headword see already mu 1039. The present adjective has the same or similar glossing in other lexica (see the references at Photius mu435 Theodoridis), and cf. also the scholia to Homer, Iliad 5.844, where (as elsewhere) it occurs as an epithet of Ares.
