Notes (1)
- The headword is a feminine noun in the nominative singular. Possible sources -- accusative singular in both instances -- are Sophocles, Oedipus Tyrannus 1248 (web address 1) and (more probably: see n. 1 below) Plato, Laws 6.775C (web address 2).
Using the abstract term for a concrete substantive, the headword also means mother; see. LSJ s.v. - 1Same gloss in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon s.v. and in Photius, Lexicon pi32 Theodoridis. ↩
