Notes:
The headword, genitive singular of this adjective, is presumably extracted from the first quotation given.
[1] Polybius 16.39.2 (web address 1); cf. under sigma 654.
[2] This second quotation illustrates a compound verb cognate with the headword adjective. It is attributed by Adler to Aelian (though LSJ s.v. diarre/mbomai opt for "anon.").
