Notes (1)

  1. The headword is attested only in Homer, Iliad 23.604 (web address 1); see also the corresponding scholia and Eustathius ad loc.. The word is glossed in Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon and in Hesychius nu327 as synonymous with neo/ths, youth.
  2. 1Adler's addenda and corrigenda corrects this noun from the e)pi/rrhma ("adverb") originally printed, to xrh=sis. ↩
