Notes
- Neuter accusative singular of this adjective, with same or similar glossing in other lexica -- referring (as Adler notes) to Euripides, Orestes 895 (web address 1): the herald Talthybius is casting obsequious glances at the friends of Aegisthus.
The adjective is also used (in the masculine nominative singular, of a young lion) by Aeschylus, Agamemnon 725.
