Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[mimhla/ means the same as] mimhtikh/.[1]

Also [sc. attested is] mimhlo/tata ["most-copied things"].[3]

Notes:
[1] Something is wrong here: the headword is neuter plural, the gloss feminine singular.
[2] See already at mu 990.
[3] Superlative of the headword adjective, neuter nominative/accusative plural; evidently quoted from somewhere (perhaps Lucian, The Dead Come to Life 36).
