[1] The headword adjective can also mean well-lettered or cultured, as it does most other times it appears in the Suda (e.g. 
beta 150, 
gamma 451, 
nu 477, 
rho 32; cf. 
Hesychius epsilon2163), or eloquent (
beta 32). For the word in the sense given here, cf. 
mu 207, 
nu 373.
[2] One might also consider translating 'noteworthy position' (as in office), but for that one might expect 
timi/a xw/ra (cf. 
Xenophon, 
Cyropaideia 8.4.10). The diminutive 
xwri/on is normally used of physical places. Although rare, one does find this phrase used in reference to physical places: 
Josephus, 
Jewish Antiquities 1.284; Cosmas Indicopleustes 9.18.
