[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica: see the references at
Photius mu518 Theodoridis, where the editor claims the headword as quoted from the
Septuagint (
4 Kingdoms 5.2; other instances [DW] in 6.23 and 13.20). See also
mu 1226 for more on the military use of the word. It is not extant before the
Septuagint, but it is used to gloss
oi)o/zwnos "alone and girt up, lonely wayfarer" in the
scholia to the quoted passage of
Sophocles.
