[Meaning] those able to strike and maim from each end.
Amphiguioisin: tois ex hekaterou merous plêxai kai guiôsai dunamenois.
Same entry in other lexica; references at
Photius alpha1311 Theodoridis. The headword is an Homeric epithet -- more properly spelled
a)mfi/guos -- of the noun
e)/gxos (lance, spear): either "with a limb at each end" (if from
gui=on) or "bending both ways" (if from
gu/hs). It is glossed here as in the
scholia to
Homer,
Iliad 13.147, from where it is taken to be quoted. It occurs only, as here, in the dative plural, and only in formulaic phrases.
