*(hgh/tores: h(gemo/nes. kai\ *(hghtori/a, h( h(gemoni/a.
[1] This part of the entry is an Homeric gloss, taken from the
SynagogĂȘ (
Lexica Segueriana, eta248.26); the source is a scholion to
Homer,
Iliad 2.79 or 3.153. It refers to the formulaic phrase
h(gh/tores h)de\ me/dontes, 'commanders and lords' (23 times overall in
Homer).
[2] This second part seems to have been taken from the
Lexicon Ambrosianum. The noun is very rare, and although this meaning is plausible, it is not attested elsewhere. What
is attested is
h(ghtori/a applied to the fig (see e.g.
Athenaeus,
Deipnosophists 3.74D [3.6 Kaibel]), as 'the first cultivated fruit discovered'; or (
Etymologicum Magnum 418.49) a fig-cake. For that, however, the more proper form appears to be
h(ghthri/a: see LSJ s.v.
