Notes
- The primary headword is an epic present participle, used in the Iliad only in this form (and not at all in the Odyssey); also in later poetry. The related adjective cited,
o)ligodranh/s , appears in Aristophanes, Birds 686 (anapaests in mock-epic style).
Same or similar glossing in other lexica, including Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon, and a scholion on Homer, Iliad 15.246.
