The headword is a neuter noun (cf. lambda 57 for its plural); the quotation cites a closely related verb.
[1] Same or similar glossing in other lexica, reckoned to stem from the occurrence of the plural of the headword in Euripides, Trojan Women 497.
[2] This phrase comes from Josephus’ retelling of the story of the patriarch Joseph (from Genesis 37.31) in Antiquities of the Jews 2.36; Joseph's brothers tell their father Jacob the story they have concocted after they have sold the boy into slavery (see web address 1). For the patriarch Joseph see iota 505; for a chiton see chi 320.
