Notes
- Likewise or similarly in other lexica: see the references at Photius mu205 Theodoridis. The headword, dative plural of the adjective
meilikth/rios , must be quoted from somewhere -- perhaps Josephus, Jewish War 5.386, though there, as elsewhere (see LSJ s.v.), it is used as a noun, 'with propitiations' (cf. mu 839).
