The entry aims to differentiate between two adjectives very similar in sound, polu/kleitos and (here plural) polu/klhtos.
1Used in this sense in Pindar: see LSJ s.v. (Also a proper name: alpha 135, chi 266.) ↩
2Likewise or similarly in other lexica, including Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon. This nominative plural is quoted from Homer, Iliad 4.438, where it refers to the Trojans' allies (again 10.420); cf. the scholia there. ↩
