Notes:
[1] Masculine accusative singular of this adjective, with same or similar glossing in other lexica (references at Photius alpha496 Theodoridis); taken to be quoted from Euripides, Andromache 459 (web address 1 below).
[2] Greek Anthology 6.168.8 (Paul the Silentiary), Xenophilus kills a wild boar; see further extracts from this epigram at alpha 790, epsilon 1100, and lambda 723.
[3] From Sophocles, Ajax 433 (web address 2), in full at delta 1701 (end). Presumably the lexicographer means to imply that the headword, although not used by Sophocles, can refer to the sorts of troubles which Ajax suffered.
