Notes

  1. Probably from commentary to Homer, Iliad 13.102, where the headword adjective (here, nominative singular masculine) appears in a simile, in the dative plural feminine, in reference to deer; cf. scholia ad loc., Heraclides Grammaticus fr. 30, ps.-Herodian (Epimerismi 147.2), Hesychius phi952, phi953. Adler also cites Lexicon Ambrosianum 524.
