[Meaning] a bond.
*)eledano/s: o( desmo/s.
Similarly in
Hesychius and other lexica, including Apollonius'
Homeric Lexicon. From the
scholia on
Homer,
Iliad 18.553, where the dative plural phrase
e)n e)lladanoi=si occurs (as part of a description of an agricultural scene depicted on Achilles' new shield: web address 1). Some mss there have
ei)ledanoi=si (cf.
epsiloniota 102), but double lambda is the usual way of making this noun metrically suitable for hexameter verse: so also
Homeric Hymn to Demeter 456 and Hesiod,
Shield 291.
Most of the lexica do give the word with double lambda; exceptions like the present entry (and
iota 304) give variants that are not independently attested.
