Notes (2)

  1. 1Neuter singular of this adjective, presumably extracted from the quotation given. More and different glosses in Hesychius s.v. (tentatively suggested by Latte to be responding to qalukro/s in Callimachus fr. 736). ↩
  2. 2Greek Anthology 5.220.1-2 (Agathias Scholasticus), a father is advised to be more sympathetic in regard to his daughter's love life. ↩
