[1] The headword (which must be quoted from somewhere) is the neuter nominative/accusative plural superlative used suppletively with the positive degree adjective
kako/s. This form is also used adverbially; see LSJ s.v
xei/rwn at web address 1 below.
[2] This is not related to the headword, but is the masculine accusative singular (presumably from the quotation that follows) of the noun
xeiristh/s, from "hand" (
xei/r) whereas the headword is from *
xer-y
wn and analogically *
xer-y
istos.
[3] Quotation (and individuals) unidentifiable.
