Notes:
= Lexica Segueriana 227.26, and cf. similar material at Hesychius epsilon445, Etymologicum Gudianum 499, Etymologicum Magnum 355. Adler also cites the unedited Ambrosian Lexicon (1353).
This adjective is here in either the masculine accusative singular or the neuter nominative/accusative singular -- and apparently the former, given the near-certainty that all this stems from Homer, Iliad 2.275 (web address 1: vox pop on Odysseus' treatment of Thersites) and the scholia thereto; cf. Apollonios Sophistes, Homeric Lexicon 71.18.
