Plato,
Theaetetus 151E, but oddly garbled: not only is the word there the adjective
a)nemiai=on, "windy", rather than the noun
a)nemi/dion, but the Suda omits "or"; "[... whether] it happens to be productive or windy", i.e. empty. Same mistake at
upsilon 424, from where this addendum to the present entry is copied.
