Vetting Status: high
Translation:
['Yawning sea'] and [sc. yawning] plain: that which is gaping wide open. "Impassable swamps enveloped [them], and moreover a yawning expanse of plain with no way out, on which more tamarisk shrubs than trees had been planted, and the denseness of the wood [was] most formidable."[1]
Also [sc. attested is the plural] a)xanei=s, [meaning] unclear, unlit.
Also [sc. attested is] a)xanh/s, [meaning] the man not [speaking] with his mouth open, and voiceless, the mute, the man afflicted with silence.

Notes:
Similar material, variously, in other lexica, including Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon. The twin headword phrases are perhaps quoted from Plutarch; he uses both of them, the first especially copiously.
[1] The source of this quotation (cf. mu 1437) is uncertain, but Adler mentions the link made by one of her predecessors, Bernhardy, with pi 1255, and attributes it to Iamblichus. The Teubner editor E. Habrich (fr. 125) expresses doubt, and Stephens and Winkler (Berkeley and Los Angeles 1995) do not include it among the fragments of Iamblichus.
