Notes (1)

  1. 11] Likewise in other lexica; references at Photius tau429 Theodoridis. The headword, feminine accusative singular of this adjective, must be quoted from somewhere (probably Homer, who has five instances; Theodoridis chooses Iliad 22.140).
  2. 2Homer, Iliad 5.778 (web address 1). ↩
