Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica (see further below). The headword noun, more probably in the genitive singular than the accusative plural, must be extracted from somewhere -- perhaps the quotation given here, though there are numerous extant alternatives, from
Thucydides onwards. The
Lexicon in orationes Gregorii Nazianzeni has this same glossing, so the actual source might be that author. (For the accusative singular see
epsilon 3462; and cf.
epsilon 3463.)
[2] Quotation (also in ps.-
Zonaras) unidentifiable.
