Notes

  1. Likewise in other lexica; references at Photius pi889 Theodoridis. The headword, nominative singular of this adjective, could be either masculine or feminine in itself, but the feminine gloss shows that it is extracted from a context where it is applied to a feminine person or thing. (Thus not from Lycophron, Alexandra 975. Euripides uses the neuter at Orestes 225, about Orestes' hair.)
