Notes (1)

Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius pi888 Theodoridis. Neuter plural of this adjective, evidently quoted from somewhere; extant possibilities begin with Lucian (cf. next note) and Appian.
1For this second gloss cf. the scholia to Lucian, Timon 7, where pinaro/s occurs. ↩
