Adler number: delta,1338
Translated headword: long
Vetting Status: high

Greek Original:*dolixo/n: makro/n, h)\ polu/. e)/xein de\ do/ru ou) kata\ to\n e)c i(/ppou maxo/menon dolixo/n, a)ll' w(/ste mo/non th\n e)pidorati/da u(pere/xein e)s u(/yos.
Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica, including Apollonius'
Homeric Lexicon. The headword is neuter nominative/accusative singular of this adjective (for which see already
delta 1336, with equivalent glossing for the plural). It might be extracted from the quotation given, but more probably from
Homer (e.g.
Iliad 13.162, 15.474).
[2] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the
Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable; and what the last part of it means is unclear.
