Notes (1)
- = Synagoge pi517; Photius, Lexicon pi1002 Theodoridis; cf. Hesychius pi2720. Taken to come from commentary to Job 38:36 LXX, where the headword adjective in this form -- feminine accusative singular, with
te/xnhn ore)pisth/mhn implicit -- appears. The headword is related to the adjectivepoi/kilos ('variegated/ decorated/changeable/versatile').
For other related words see the other entries from pi 3079 to pi 3084 inclusive. - 1This glossing term (more similar to the headword in the Greek than in translation) is attested only in these lexica. ↩
