Notes
- The headword phrase, presumably (in view of its definite article) quoted from somewhere, is similarly glossed in other lexica -- including Etymologicum Magnum 761.40-41, where, spelled with a single lambda, it is categorised as 'rhetorical'.
For the literal sense of the noun ('a particular case of lameness') see LSJ s.v. at web address 1.
