and [sc. also attested is] megalorhmosu/nh ["grandiloquence"], [meaning] speaking grandly.
*megalorh/monos: kai\ *megalorhmosu/nh, megalhgori/a.
The primary headword, in the genitive case, is clearly quoted from somewhere, but the known instances of
megalorrh/monos outside lexica and grammars are not promising: it occurs in John Damascene,
Sacra Parallela PG 95.1285 (as a title), and in Sophronius of
Jerusalem,
Miracles of SS Cyrus and John 9 line 60 Fernández Marcos.
The related noun
megalorhmosu/nh is also mentioned, unglossed, in
mu 376 with the classical spelling
megalorrhmosu/nh (the Suda is generally indifferent to single and double consonants). It is first recorded in
1 Samuel 2:3 and
Odes 3:3
LXX.
Hesychius mu475 defines it instead as
mega/la, lalo/nwn (of those uttering grandly?).
