Notes (1)

Rare adverb, of uncertain meaning. For instances of it outside lexicography see e.g. Hipponax [iota 588] on fish-eating in Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 7.304B (7.67 Kaibel), though the reading is disputed there, and Aristotle, History of Animals 624a24.
cf. rho 283.
1Same or similar glossing elsewhere; references at Photius rho147 and rho167, both s.v. r(oi/bdhn. ↩
