Headword: *makrai/wnas
Adler number: mu,73
Translated headword: long-lasting
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] long-lived.[1]

Greek Original:
*makrai/wnas: makrobi/ous. *sofoklh=s: ou)/toi bi/ou moi tou= makrai/wnos po/qos, fe/ronti th/nde ba/cin. a)nti\ tou= ou) bou/lomai zh=n e)pi\ tau/th| th=| fh/mh|.
Notes:
[1] Likewise in Photius mu50 Theodoridis. Accusative plural of these adjectives, the headword one presumably quoted from somewhere (e.g. Plato, Republic 383B), though note that Hesychius delta767 gives both makrai/wnas and makrobi/ous as glosses for dhqai/wnas. The quotation which follows has the genitive singular, and see also mu 74 with the dative singular.
[2] Sophocles, Oedipus Tyrannus 518-9 (web address 1), with scholion.
