[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica. The headword is accusative singular of this feminine noun. One might think it quoted from somewhere other than the quotation immediately following, where it is in the dative singular, but note that
Photius' quotation of this phrase from
Thucydides has it in the accusative.
