[A term for] friends from a foreign [country].

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ξεῖνοι· οἱ ἀπὸ ξένης φίλοι.

Betacode

*cei=noi: oi( a)po\ ce/nhs fi/loi.

Epic/Ionic for xenoi; cf. xi 36, xi 45, xi 57, xi 58. This nominative plural is evidently quoted from somewhere (perhaps Homer, Odyssey 1.187, where the scholia simply have 'friends'; but there are 10 other instances in Homer alone).
