Notes

  1. From a scholion on Homer, Iliad 21.197, where the headword occurs. Likewise or similarly in other lexica.
    The noun fre/ar (cf. under phi 697), epic frei=ar, originally contained a digamma, and followed the archaic type of declension with -r in nominative/accusative singular and -nt- in oblique cases. See LSJ s.v.
