[Meaning] long. In the Epigrams: "so thus, lengthy spear, sit opposite the tall pillar [...]."[1]
*tanah/: makra/. e)n *)epigra/mmasi: ou(/tw toi meli/a tanaa\ a)nti\ ki/ona makro\n h(=so.
The headword
tanah/ is nominative singular feminine of the epic/tragic adjective
tanao/s. (In the quotation which follows, the adjective takes the Doric form
tanaa/.) Similarly glossed in
Hesychius and a scholion on
Homer,
Iliad 16.589 (where the adjective appears in the genitive). The lexica's nominative is probably generated by that passage, but note also
Oppian,
Halieutica 1.213, where the nominative occurs and the
scholia gloss with this adjective amongst others.

Simonides; cf.

poti\ "against" instead of the Suda's
a)nti\.) See another extract from this epigram, the dedication of a spear, at
tau 418.
