[1]
Plato,
Republic 1.456A (web address 1 below) -- feminine there, because referring to a woman's capacity to be a Guardian. Thus the glossing here,
o( leluphme/nos, indicates that the headword itself has been quoted from somewhere else; and in fact that gloss occurs in the
scholia to
Sophocles,
Oedipus Tyrannus 319, where masculine
a)/qumos occurs (of Teiresias:
tau 453).
[2] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the
Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable.
