Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica (references at
Photius alpha2988 Theodoridis), where however 'enemies' is taken to be part of the glossing. 'Implacable' itself is taken to be quoted from the
New Testament (
2 Timothy 3.3).
[2] Presumably
Thucydides 2.22.2 (web address 1 below).
[3] Quoted from
alpha 4245, q.v.
