[Meaning] he hated, he thought little of [sc. the Trojans].[1]
Homer [writes]: "he brought back much prudence".
*kata\ de\ fro/nin h)/gage pollh/n: e)mi/shse, katefro/nhsen. *(/omhros: kata\ de\ fro/nin h)/gage pollh/n.
The headword phrase, repeated at the end of the entry, is
Homer,
Odyssey 4.258 (web address 1); also in
phi 727 (q.v.).
[1] This glossing follows one of the possible explanations of the verse provided by the
scholia thereto. These are that Odysseus (a) thought little of the Trojans' military power (here and in mss MVHQ of the
scholia), (b) brought back important intelligence regarding the Trojans (ms E), or (c) acquired personal glory and fame (in all of these mss). To judge by the second gloss,
katefro/nhsen, some commentator understood the adverb
kata\ with the noun
fro/nin rather than with the verb
h)/gage.
