[Meaning] an empty man.
*ke/nandron: keno\n a)/ndra.
Same or similar entry in other lexica; see the references at
Photius kappa560 Theodoridis. The headword, which must be quoted from somewhere, is a two-termination adjective in the accusative (masculine, feminine or neuter) singular. It occurs twice in Attic tragedy, each time describing a depopulated/deserted town or city --
Aeschylus,
Persae 119 (Susa, called an
asty), and
Sophocles,
Oedipus at Colonus 917 (
polis) -- and the
Aeschylus passage is the one likely to have generated the present entry; cf. various
scholia there.
Theodoridis evidently disagrees, preferring to cite Cyril of Alexandria,
Commentary on Isaiah 1.6 (PG 70.296a), which should as he says have produced the gloss
kenh\n a)ndrw=n. In any event the lexicographers'
a)/ndra involves a misinterpretation of the adjective as describing a man.
