Notes:
cf. Hesychius p12881, and the scholia to Homer, Iliad 5.613, where this composite adjective occurs (of Amphios, a Trojan warrior killed by Ajax).
Its etymology is connected with the noun lh/ion, "standing crop" (see e.g. Homer, Iliad 2.147; Hesiod, Shield 288; Herodotus 1.19.1), so that it literally means "with many cornfields".
It is used both for persons and geographical regions; for references see LSJ s.v. (web address 1).
