Headword: *)andrei/kelon
Adler number: alpha,2165
Translated headword: man-like
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] like a man. It also means the painters' compound, which is called choice[1] of colours.
Greek Original:
*)andrei/kelon: o(/moion a)ndri/. shmai/nei de\ kai\ to\ mi/gma tw=n zwgra/fwn, o(\ kalei=tai xrwma/twn kri/sis.
Notes:
This entry begins with the adjective a)ndrei/kelos (here in the masculine accusative singular or neuter nominative/accusative singular; either way, evidently quoted from somewhere) before turning to the neuter noun a)ndrei/kelon, a flesh-coloured pigment. For references to both usages see LSJ s.v. See also mu 1033.
[1] Adler prints the transmitted noun, krisis, but both Photius s.v. and general sense show that it should be krasis, "blend".
