Vetting Status: high
Translation: [mimhla/ means the same as] mimhtikh/.[1]

Notes:
[1] Something is wrong here: the headword is neuter plural, the gloss feminine singular.
[2] See already at
mu 990.
[3] Superlative of the headword adjective, neuter nominative/accusative plural; evidently quoted from somewhere (perhaps Lucian,
The Dead Come to Life 36).
