Notes:
[1] Nominative plural of this adjective; same glossing in other lexica, including Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon; very probably quoted from Homer, Iliad 13.811 (which generated scholiastic comment) or Odyssey 12.208.
[2] Damascius, Life of Isidore fr. 161 Zintzen (92 Asmus), on Heraiskos: see in full at eta 450.
[3] A military writer of the C1 BCE (see generally OCD(4) p.180) -- but this word is not used in what survives of him. Probably a corruption of the passage quoted at eta 450 (see preceding note), where a certain Asklepiades is said to be th\n *ai)gupti/wn sofi/an dahmone/steros -- "rather knowledgeable," or perhaps "more knowledgeable," sc. than Heraiskos. See Athanassiadi, page 185, note 164.
