Notes:
[1] The headword phrase, in the dative singular (including the adjective liparh/s; cf. lambda 578, lambda 583) comes from the scholia to Sophocles, Electra 1378: see below. The related verb is defined at lambda 579.
[2] Comparable definitions in e.g. the Lexicon on Gregory of Nazianzus (Coislin ms.) "liparw=s: luxuriously, richly" and Hesychius lambda1084 "lipare/ws: abundantly". This is properly the adverbial form of liparo/s "oily, fatty, rich", which has here been mistakenly attached to this adjective.
[3] Sophocles, Electra 1377-1382 (web address 1); cf. tau 104.
