Νοσηλεία

Notes (2)

1. The headword is a feminine noun in the nominative (and vocative) singular; cf. nu 490, nu 491, and see generally LSJ s.v. It is perhaps generated by the genitive singular noshlei/as at Sophocles, Philoctetes 39 (web address 1): Neoptolemus [Author, Myth] finds heavily stained rags that have clearly been used to bandage some seriously wounded person.
1. 1The (incongruous) gloss is an abstract feminine noun in the nominative (and vocative) singular (lack of strength, weakness, sickliness); see LSJ s.v. As a comparandum Adler also cites the unpublished Ambrosian Lexicon (340). ↩
2. 2The adjective nosh/lia is the neuter nominative, vocative, and accusative plural form of nosh/lios, -a, -on, of or for sickness; see LSJ s.v. and an instance with the sense of food for sick persons at Oppian, Halieutica 1.301, with scholion. ↩
