Πολυτίμητος· ἐψηλάφων τοὺς ὑπομνηματισμούς, οὓς ὁ πολυτίμητος Ἡρακλείδης ἧκεν ἔχων. ὁ πολυτιμώρητος.

Notes
- An enigmatic entry, unparalleled in other lexica. The quotation is unidentifiable, as is the Heraclides in it; and it is not clear whether the gloss is intended (mistakenly: cf. under rho 216) to be a general synonym for the headword or a punning comment on Heraclides himself.
