Notes:
The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is the masculine accusative plural of the comparative form of the adjective
xari/eis, ('graceful', 'pleasing', 'accomplished [at some pleasure-producing skill]'); see generally LSJ s.v.
[1] The glosses, with the same grammatical form as the headword, derive from the adjectives
e)/ndocos, ('esteemed'), and
eu)preph/s, ('good-looking'), respectively.
