*frh/n, fre/na: dia/noian.
Notes
- Likewise or similarly in other lexica (references at Photius phi297 Theodoridis), and cf. also the D scholia to Homer, Iliad 1.107, where the dative plural
fresi/ occurs and is glossed withtai=s dianoi/ais . As regards the present entry, it is evidently the accusative singular -- here usurping what in other circumstances would have been a genitive -- that is quoted from somewhere; probably Iliad 2.3, where the D scholia gloss the phrasekata\ fre/na withkata\ th\n dia/noian .
