[Meaning] he1 [who is] in Nemea.2
[sc. Pertaining] to the Lokrian [sc. city of that name] evidently. For the citizen of the Nemea in Elis [sic] is on record as 'Nemeos' and 'Nemeaios', but also already *nemeh/ths; as [it is] clear from [the name] of Zeus *nemeh/ths.3

  1. 1Or at any rate something masculine in gender; see further, next note. ↩
  2. 2This headword, Nemeios, is attested in a range of writers which includes Euripides and Thucydides; and despite the supplementary part of the present entry, what they all mean by it is someone or something (e.g. the mythological lion) from Nemea in the NE Peloponnese (nu 149, nu 150, etc.). ↩
  3. 3This material derives from Stephanus of Byzantium s.v. Nemea, who adds to his material on Peloponnesian Nemea the statement that there was another Nemea (otherwise unattested) in Lokris, with this ethnikon. ↩
