Notes:
The headword adjective, drawn from the quotation that follows, is nominative singular masculine. It can also mean 'fostering' or 'fertile' and as such is attested as a divine epithet for Poseidon (e.g.
Pausanias 2.32.8), or Zeus (e.g.
Hesychius phi1067). See also
phi 805.

fu/tlh see
phi 879.
