[1] "Homer uses i)fqi/mh of women; but i)/fqimoi yuxai/, kefalai/, speaking of men": LSJ s.v. Similar but longer entry in Hesychius (iota1116), which Latte regards as prompted by Homer, Odyssey 16.332 (i)fqi/mh basi/leia).
[2] Likewise or similarly in other lexica, and cf. a scholion on Homer, Iliad 1.3 (where the accusative plural occurs).
[3] Masculine nominative singular of this superlative; evidently quoted from somewhere.
