Notes
- Different glossing, variously, in ps.-Herodian, Epimerismi 171, Photius pi514 Theodoridis, and (according to Adler) the Ambrosian Lexicon.
The headword is a slang term for a long-time slave. This particular form (nominative singular masculine) is rare outside lexicography, but see Lucian, Timon 14, and the contextless Comica adespota fr. 1110 Kock (529 K.-A.).
