Notes
- Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius nu315 Theodoridis. The headword phrase is quoted from Homer, Iliad 2.159 (cf. the scholia there), but see also Odyssey 3.142, Hesiod (Theogony 762), and later poetry.
Fornw=ton in this figurative sense see LSJ s.v., II.1 (web address 1).
