[1] Literally "much". The word is translated here in a manner appropriate to the use of the headword as an affirmative expletive in
Plato's
Republic, from the
scholia to which some of the following commentary derives: see further below, note 3. "Much" (
panu/) by itself is rarely used for this purpose, although it does play a part in affirmative phrases such as
panu/ ge.
[2] These meanings are unrecognized by LSJ, and are not illustrated in any of the several quotations that follow.
[3] Up to this point the entry = schol. to
Plato,
Republic 555D (text at web address 1). Adler and others cite schol. to
Republic 431E where the same material occurs, but in a different order appropriate to the context there. Also =
Synagoge epsilon665 (with the omission of 'and sufficiently');
