Notes:
Accusative case feminine of the headword (see again under theta 365), with the same or similar glossing in other lexica. Latte reconstructs the original entry in Hesychius (theta548) as qh=ssan tra/pezan "menial table" (from Euripides, Alcestis 2) glossed with doulikh\n trofh/n "servile fare."
For other x-refs see under theta 358.
