Notes (1)
- The headword adjective, neuter singular, is presumably extracted from the quotation given.
The first 24 zeta entries contain numerous other words with this intensifying za- prefix. - 1Greek Anthology 7.75.1-2, which reads
a)metrh/tou (i.e. 'very full mouth of the unmeasured Muse' -- 'unmeasured' perhaps referring to Stesichorus' use of relatively free lyric meters). For Stesichorus see generally sigma 1095; for Katane, kappa 669. ↩
