[Meaning] the citizen.
*)esshno/s: o( poli/ths.
Differently accented from the genitive of
epsilon 3131 (q.v.).
For the Essenes, members of ascetic Jewish religious communities described by
Josephus and others, see
epsilon 3123 and OCD(4) s.v. But the present entry, unparalleled in other lexica, is obscure and (seemingly) uncomprehending. Perhaps (CR) the headword is a truncation of
*)edesshno/s "Edessene", for which see
epsilon 208.
