Adler number: rho,165

Notes:
[1] Similar glossing in other lexica, and cf. also the scholia to Oppian, Halieutica 5.406, from where the headword (neuter plural of this adjective) is probably quoted.
[2] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. It uses the masculine nominative plural of the adjective.
