The headword, a noun in the nominative singular masculine, might be quoted from somewhere or is perhaps simply generic. Either way, it is not drawn from either of the quotations given here, which have the dative singular and accusative singular respectively.
For a different gloss on the same headword, see pi 3118; and cf. pi 3117 for a related word.
