*mu/xios sh/ragc.
Notes
- The unglossed headword phrase is in the nominative singular. (For its adjective, first in Hesiod, cf. mu 1493 and LSJ s.v. at web address 1; for 'cavern' see sigma 333, sigma 335 and LSJ s.v. at web address 2.) If it is quoted from somewhere in this precise form, the source is unidentifiable, but note the accusative plural version in [Aristotle], De mundo (On the Universe) 395b31.
