Notes:
Transliteration of the Latin
dictator; again
delta 1112, and see already the cognate abstract noun at
delta 1110.
[1] Likewise in
Hesychius. See further, next note.
[2] Likewise -- both elements -- in
Photius (see further, next note) and other lexica. But these are late applications of the headword noun; for its earlier, literal sense see e.g.
Plutarch,
Moralia 777B (of L. Aemilius Paullus, cos. 182 and 168 BCE), and under
eta 545 (
Philostratus on Herodes
Atticus).
[3] Likewise in
Photius. For the accountability criterion cf. already
delta 1110.
[4] Similarly in ps.-
Zonaras.
