Notes
- Likewise or similarly in other lexica and several Homeric scholia: see the references at Photius mu258 Theodoridis. The headword is perfect active participle of
me/lw , masculine nominative singular (cf. mu 561). At Hesychius mu804 (where the gloss ise)pimelw=s fronti/zwn "concerning oneself carefully") Latte claims the headword as quoted from Homer, Iliad 5.708; a scholion there hasdia\ gewrgi/as e)pimelo/menos, o(/pws plouth=| "taking care by farming, so that one prospers".
