Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica. For this multi-sense adjective, here in the neuter singular, see already sigma 1699, and cf. sigma 1698. Perhaps extracted from the first quotation given (where it is used adverbially), though the other lexica do not have it, and there are numerous alternatives.
[2] Xenophon, Anabasis 1.8.10 (web address 1).
[3] Not identified by Adler, but identifiable by a TLG search as something written by Cassius Dio, in excerpted material preserved in John of Antioch about the emperor Claudius (but with a different verb, die/fqeiren): see John fr.168 Roberto.
[4] Greek Anthology 6.303.3-4 (Ariston), quoted already at alpha 3303 and iota 711. On this epigram, where the poet addresses the mice inside his home, see also Gow and Page (vol. I, 43) and (vol. II, 112). As Gow and Page observe (ibid.), the epigram clearly imitates Leonidas of Tarentum in Greek Anthology 6.302 (cf. alpha 3965).
