Notes (1)
- = the rhetorical lexicon of Eudemus, 171b.12 Niese.
The headword is the genitive singular form of this adjective, which is firmly attested (outside lexicography) only in the passage quoted here. LSJ follow the latter part of this entry in defining the word as "that shines on all alike", but that is surely a context-specific connotation for the given quotation. - 1An approximation of a phrase in Callimachus, Hecale fr. 302 Pfeiffer (48 Schneider). ↩
