Notes
- Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius xi4 Theodoridis. Both headword and gloss are accusative singular, feminine; from ancient comment on Homer, Iliad 11.740, where the headword is used (of Agamede).
For the colour-range encompassed by the adjective xanthos see LSJ s.v. (web address 1).
