[Meaning] that of [someone's or something's] back.
*nwtai/a qri/c: h( tw=n metafre/nwn.
The headword phrase is evidently quoted from somewhere.
As transmitted, the adjective in it,
nwtai/a "of the back" (feminine nominative singular), is a rare form of the usual
nwtiai/a; otherwise attested (but accented
nwtai=a) in
Nicander,
Theriaca 317, and the
scholia thereto. (Adler notes that the Suda
editio princeps emended to
nwtiai/a here.)
