[Meaning] one who is being driven mad [sc. when] in love.
*)erwmanh/s: o( e)n tw=| e)/rwti maino/menos.
Same entry, according to Adler, in the
Ambrosian Lexicon. In ps.-
Zonaras this same glossing phrase is attached to two adverbs,
e)rwmanw=s and
e)rwtomanw=s, neither of them otherwise attested.
Here in the Suda the headword is an adjective -- as indeed is a better fit with the gloss -- but a rare one. For an apparent instance in prose see
Diodorus Siculus 30.22.1 (with the standard emendation by Valesius from
e)rwme/nhn to
e)rwmanh=), on L. Aemilius Paullus' passionate feelings for his son, Scipio Africanus the Younger. Otherwise
e)rwmanh/s is characteristic of late poetry:
Oppian and, especially,
Nonnus.
