Likewise or similarly in other lexica (references at Photius pi926 Theodoridis), and cf. the scholia to Homer, Iliad 5.245, where the adjective a)pe/leqron ("immeasurable") occurs. The present headword, neuter plural, is extracted from Plato, Alcibiades 1 123C; cf. the scholia there.
See also pi 936, pi 1720.
[1] For this term cf. under alpha 3990.
