*paidikw/teron: i(larw/teron.

Notes

Same equivalence in Photius (pi25 Theodoridis), Eudemus, and a scholion to [Plato], Epinomis 974A (as an addendum to defining paidikh=s there with i(lara=s). The headword must be quoted from somewhere -- probably not, given the favourable gloss, from Polybius 3.99.8 (the Carthaginian general Bostar acts "more childishly than suited his age"); it may nevertheless also be an adverbial usage.
