Translation

[Meaning] something perfect.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Τελεώτερον· τὸ τέλειον.

Betacode
*telew/teron: to\ te/leion. 

Notes

  1. The headword is comparative of the adjective te/leos, neuter nominative/accusative singular. It must be quoted from somewhere; extant possibilities are numerous, beginning with three in Plato (e.g. Phaedrus 244D: prophecy is a more perfect thing than augury).
    Adler reports a comparable lemma in the Ambrosian Lexicon.
