Headword: *baqupe/plwn
Adler number: beta,36
Translated headword: of long-robed [women]
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] of large [ones], so it logically follows.
Greek Original:
*baqupe/plwn: mega/lwn, e)k tou= parakolouqou=ntos.
Notes:
Same or very similar glossing (of this genitive plural headword) in Photius and elsewhere. Hesychius and others more helpfully explain that it refers to women.
The headword adjective itself is characteristic of late epic (Nonnus, Quintus); see also epsilon 3574.
