[Meaning] dark. Also [sc. attested is] Erebos/Erebus, [meaning] darkness.
*)erebeino/s: o( skoteino/s. kai\ *)/erebos, to\ sko/tos.
Erebos (for which see also under
epsilon 2921,
iota 457,
chi 84,
omega 220) was 'a place of nether darkness, forming a passage from Earth to Hades' (LSJ s.v.).
The cognate adjective Erebos-like appears in the form
e)rebenno/s, with Aeolic treatment of *-sn-, in
Homer and Hesiod; the Ionic form
e)rebeino/s, as here, is confined to lexicography.
