Notes:
[1] The headword is masculine accusative singular or neuter nominative/accusative singular of this adjective (for which cf.
kappa 1186,
kappa 1188). Same glossing in other lexica (see the references at
Photius kappa72 Theodoridis), and evidently quoted from somewhere (probably
Homer,
Iliad 8.84, to judge from the
scholia there).
[2] Perhaps from an unidentifiable biblical commentary. The phrase
e(/ws kairou= occurs quite often in the
Septuagint, but it is not clear to which occurrence the present note might apply.
