[1] Neuter singular(s). From the scholia to Aristophanes, Clouds 1070, where the phrase gunh\ de\ sinamwroume/nh xai/rei ["a woman likes to be used wantonly"] occurs. See further below, at n. 3.
[2] From glosses on Herodotus 5.92.zeta, where this noun occurs (in the accusative case) of someone wantonly destructive of his own property.
[3] See n. 1 above. On this verb and noun, see generally J. Henderson, The Maculate Muse (New Haven 1975) 158-9 #246. It 'implies the treatment of love-making as a meretricious art rather than simply as pleasure or amusement; thus the connotations of wantonness, shamelessness, and perhaps even sadism or masochism, are always present'.
