Notes (2)

  1. 1Nominative plural of this adjective. Same or similar glossing in other lexica (see the references at Photius nu76 Theodoridis), with reference to Homer, Iliad 2.289 (where it occurs). The second of the senses glossed does not seem to be independently attested: see LSJ s.v. ↩
  2. 2Aelian fr. 32 Domingo-Forasté (29 Hercher). ↩
