Likewise in other lexica (see the references at Photius mu525 Theodoridis); and cf. mu 1238, omicroniota 143.
1As if from tre/fw: raised alone (an only child) or eating alone (living a solitary life). ↩
2Adler notes that 'Rigaltius' [Nicolas Rigault, 1577-1654] conjectured a)/gamos "unmarried" instead of a)gaqo/s. In Photius loc.cit. Theodoridis prints a)gaqo/s but marks it as corrupt. ↩
