Notes

  1. Likewise or similarly in other lexica (references at Photius tau24 Theodoridis), and cf. also the scholia to Homer, Odyssey 18.327, where this epic/poetic adjective occurs in the vocative case.
    For other instances in the Suda see alpha 4378, delta 571, epsilon 969, phi 144. For the gloss cf. tau 49.
