Notes:
[1] No equivalent definition(s) in other lexica. As Adler notes, its first element can be paralleled in
Photius,
Bibliotheca 535b15 (citing
Helladius of
Antinoupolis): a phrase there asserts that in spring
h( ... tou= a)e/ros kra=sis is sweetest. But the actual phrase used here in the Suda is matched only (as a TLG search reveals) by one in a scholion on
Theocritus and a letter of John Chrysostom.
[2] From the
scholia on
Nicander,
Alexipharmaca 314, where spring is mentioned. See also
Hesychius (s.v.
h)=ar) and other lexica.

ei)/ari.
