Notes:
[1] Masculine accusative singular of this adjective, with same or similar glossing in other lexica (references at
Photius alpha496 Theodoridis); taken to be quoted from
Euripides,
Andromache 459 (web address 1 below).
[2]
Greek Anthology 6.168.8 (Paul the Silentiary), Xenophilus kills a wild boar; see further extracts from this epigram at
alpha 790,
epsilon 1100, and
lambda 723.
[3] From
Sophocles,
Ajax 433 (web address 2), in full at
delta 1701 (end). Presumably the lexicographer means to imply that the headword, although not used by
Sophocles, can refer to the sorts of troubles which Ajax suffered.
