Vetting Status: high

Greek Original:
*prodwsi/kompos: o( u(posxetiko/s, o( ta\s e(autou= u(posxe/seis e)n ou)deni\ tiqe/menos, a)lla\ prodidou/s.
Notes:
= Photius, Lexicon pi1203 Theodoridis, from Aelius Dionysius. The headword is a comic coinage (Comica adespota fr. 1125 Kock, 533 K.-A.); otherwise unattested outside lexica and grammars.
Aelius, Photius, and Eustathius (in his Commentary on the Iliad) spell the word with omicron, prodosi/kompos; manuscripts GVM of the Suda agree, Adler reports, but the omega is required by alphabetical order (and meter).
