Notes

  1. The headword adjective --from the negative prefix *ne- and a)riqmo/s "number" -- is here in the masculine accusative plural, with the same glossing in other lexica (references at Photius nu196 Theodoridis). It must therefore be quoted from somewhere; there are extant instances in Diogenes Laertius (10.9), Nonnus and Cyril of Alexandria.
