Notes:
[1] An uncommon noun in all periods (and not attested before
Polybius), glossed by a common one; cf., for adverbs,
epsilon 453. The present headword is derived from
qumo/s "heart, spirit," and the prefix
e)k "out of, from."
[2] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the
Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable.
