[Meaning] the [sc. diminutive] of a herm [or: of Hermes].
*(erma/dion: to\ tou= *(ermou=.
Same entry in ps.-
Zonaras and, according to Adler, the
Ambrosian Lexicon -- and an ambiguous one. LSJ s.v. interprets and classifies it as referrring to Herm-statues (
epsilon 3029,
epsilon 3030,
epsilon 3031,
epsilon 3033,
epsilon 3047); however, since that sense is otherwise attested only epigraphically, the entry might equally well be generated by Lucian,
Charon [Author, Myth] 1, where upper-case 'Hermadion' is a diminutive of the name Hermes itself.
