*telesko/menos: teleiou/menos, plhrou/menos, e)nqousiw=n. 

Notes

  1. Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius tau136, where Theodoridis notes the view (standard since the nineteenth century) that the Suda's headword, telesko/menos, is faulty. It should be telisko/menos, taken to be quoted from Deuteronomy 23.19 LXX. See generally LSJ s.v. teli/skw.
