Notes
- Feminine nominative singular of this adjective, evidently quoted from somewhere (probably Callimachus, Hymns 4.273).
For the glossing cf. generally Etymologicum Magnum 674.13ff, and a scholion on Homer, Odyssey 21.363 (where the masculine vocativeplagkte/ occurs).
The feminine plural is used for the legendary Clashing Rocks, as at Homer, Odyssey 12.61.
