Coupled with nu 44, this appears to be the only instance of the two opposites being defined in terms of each other in lexicography; even in literature the adjectives are contrasted only in Nicetas Choniates, Orations 15 p. 148 van Dieten, and Euthymius Protasecretis, Encomium in Mariam Aegyptiacam 8. ↩
