Note:
Similar entries in Hesychius and, especially, Etymologicum Magnum 6.30-34 -- though there the headword is oxytone a)gauro/s. LSJ too (web address 1 below) gives it thus, and understands it as gau=ros [gamma 77, gamma 78] 'with a euphon., stately, proud'; used of a bull in Hesiod, Theogony 832. However, sense 2 there is 'Ion., euphem. for a beggar'.
