Notes

  1. Same or similar entry in other lexica: see the references at Photius mu40 Theodoridis. Feminine accusative singulars: that of the archaic/poetic adjective ma/kar (evidently quoted from somewhere: there are extant instances in Sappho, Pindar and Euripides) is glossed with the same form of the common adjective maka/rios; cf. mu 53.
