Translation: [Meaning] a dispute with rebuke; but others [define it as] battle, rivalry, abuse. "[He] who shoots at me with useless contentiousnesses and quarrels".[1] [He is] speaking by way of blame. Also [sc. attested is the phrase] "quarrel of Odysseus".[2] Also [meaning] battle. "Since thus Athena led the neikos".[3] "There arose a neikos between us and the Eleans."[4]
But nikos [spelled] with an iota [means] victory. And not only is [neikos in the sense of] "rivalry" spelled with a diphthong [ei], but so is [neikos in the sense of] hand-to-hand combat. [5]
