Also [sc. attested is the phrase] fo/nion ai(=ma ["murderous blood"].[1] Also [sc. attested is] fo/nios ["murderous"], [meaning] a savage man.[2]
*foni/a o(rmh/. kai\ *fo/nion ai(=ma. kai\ *fo/nios, o( w)mo\s a)nh/r.
The headword phrase (also in the
Ambrosian Lexicon, according to Adler) is probably generated by
Aristophanes,
Birds 345, where the Doric accusative
o(rma\n foni/an occurs in a lyric passage (web address 1).
[1] This phrase is attested twice in
Euripides:
Heracles 1184 and
Phoenician Women 933.
[2] Probably, again, from tragedy; LSJ s.v. cites many instances.
