Notes:
[1] Likewise in other lexica. The headword is an adverb related to e(kw/n; cf. epsilon 310.
[2] Homer, Iliad 4.43 (web address 1), again at epsilon 549; see generally Tosi (cited under alpha 378) no.1262. Here a)e/konti is dative singular of the adjective a)e/kwn, with a final acute accent because of the enclitic ge. For the proverb (glossed as "in reference to those doing something under duress") see Appendix Proverbiorum 2.51.
