The [sc. offspring] of the hare.
Lagidês: ho tou lagôou.
Same entry, according to Adler, in the
Ambrosian Lexicon (53). The glossing shows that the headword is construed in the lower-case senses translated above, i.e. connected with the noun
lagw/s (
lambda 15,
lambda 28,
lambda 29,
lambda 30, etc.) However, such a term is otherwise unattested, and on the whole grammarians and scholiasts regard it, rather, as a patronymic from the name Lagos. For the best-known bearer of that name see
lambda 25: Lagos the Macedonian, who gave his name to the Hellenistic dynasty founded in Egypt by his son
Ptolemy I Soter (“Savior”) 367/66-283/82 -- who has no entry of his own. For this see e.g.
Strabo 17.1.10: the deaths of Antony and
Cleopatra end the long 'empire of the Lagidai.'
