[Meaning] ultimate/utmost.[1] Also [sc. attested is the form] muxoi/taton.[2]

*muxai/taton: e)sw/taton. kai\ *muxoi/taton. kai\ *muxi/a, h( *)afrodi/th.
[1] The headword is either masculine accusative singular or neuter nominative/accusative singular of
muxai/tatos, an irregular superlative of the adjective
mu/xios (cf. under
mu 1495). Possibly a cross-reference to
kappa 2786; if not, quoted from somewhere (perhaps
Josephus, who has four instances of it). LSJ entry at web address 1. [At
Photius mu637 Theodoridis the editor prints this headword as
muxe/staton but expresses no confidence in it.]
[2] Attested only here and, later, in
Eustathius.
[3] See e.g.
Aelian,
De natura animalium 10.34, numbering Aphrodite as one of the Penates, whom he calls
oi( qeoi\ mu/xioi. Other sources in LSJ s.v.
mu/xios, II (web address 2).
Aelian is available on Google Books (web address 3).
