[Meaning] light, splendor.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Φαῦσις· φῶς, φέγγος.

Betacode

*fau=sis: fw=s, fe/ggos.

(Entry lacking, Adler reports, in mss FV.)
Similarly glossed in Hesychius, with the addition of fwtaugi/a "radiance." Taken probably from the Septuagint: Adler says Psalm 73.16; other possibilities are Genesis 1.14 & 15, Judith 13.13. (All four of these instances are accusative case.)
