Notes
- Likewise or (Hesychius psi124) similarly in other lexica.
For the headword adjective (here in the nominative masculine singular) see already under alpha 425. It occurs in the dative plural in Lycophron, Alexandra 1455. See also e.g. Greek Anthology 1.106.2; Greek Anthology Appendix, Epigrammata sepulcralia 722.8 (y. e)/pos ).
For the verbyeudhgorei=n cf. (?)Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound 1032; Aristotle, Rhetoric 1397a17; and (?)Philemon (fr.102.5 Kock, but not in K.-A.). For the nounyeudhgori/a see Anna Comnena, Alexias 14.9.5; Basil, Epistle 223.1. These words are very common in patristic and Byzantine Greek: see e.g. Irenaeus, Adv. haereses 1.1.20; Nicephorus Gregoras, Roman History 3.233.7; George the Monk, Chronicon 413.14, 510.18, 511.22, 512.22.
