Notes:
The headword participle, in the masculine nominative plural, has this same gloss in other lexica. It is probably extracted from the quotation given: see the next note.
[1] Homer, Iliad 20.166 (web address 1). The substance of this entry is from the scholion there; cf. omega 253.
[2] That is, the plural participle "assembling" may modify the singular noun dh=mos ("people") because it is a collective noun. But in Homer, the participle actually modifies a)/ndres "men" in line 165, and pa=s dh=mos is in apposition with the plural subject.
