Notes:
The headword adjective is accusative singular, presumably extracted from the quotation given; LSJ entry at web address 1.
[1] cf. generally alpha 1720.
[2] Quotation unidentifiable, though Adler suggests Polybius, who uses the plural of the headword, of battles, in 35.2.14. See also e.g. Polybius 4.33.8, Callisthenes FGrH 124 F23, and Thucydides 4.134.1, the last probably giving rise to Hesychius s.v. a)mfidh/ritos.
