Notes:
[1] Neuter nominative/accusative singular, with the same or similar glossing in other lexica and grammars; evidently quoted from somewhere.
[2] cf. alpha 622, alpha 623, alpha 624.
[3] Greek Anthology 6.115.7 (generally attributed to Antipater of Sidon), on the horns and hide of a bull killed by Philip of Macedon; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 27); (vol. II, 71-73); and further excerpts from this epigram at alpha 1542, beta 529, delta 361, epsilon 2968, mu 580, and omicron 501. The hunter is generally identified as Philip V of Macedon (238-179 BCE; cf. phi 355 and OCD4 s.v. Philip(3)); cf. Gow and Page (vol. II, 72).
Also see Homer, Iliad 9.70 (web address 1 below) where a very similar phrase (ou)de\n a)eike/s) is used in a Homer-inspired herm epigram dedicated by Kimon in Athens after his victory, c.476 BCE, at Eion (Aeschines 3.185; Plutarch, Kimon 7). Eion is at the mouth of the River Strymon, where it empties into the Aegean Sea from Thrace (Barrington Atlas map 51 grid B3).
[4] Sophocles, Electra 215-6 (web address 2 below).
