Greek display:    

Headword: *)aeidh/s
Adler number: alpha,615
Translated headword: formless, indistinct
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] he who/that which is unseen/invisible.
Greek Original:
*)aeidh/s: o( a)fanh/s.
Notes:
Same entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon.
Properly speaking, a)eidh/s should mean "formless" (from the noun eidos; see already alpha 614) and a)idh/s should mean "unseen, invisible" (from the verbal root id- "see"). But the two are sometimes confused: they are, for instance, variant readings in Plato, Phaedo 79A (web address 1).
