Notes:
[1] The headword is superlative of the adjective
qriph/destos (web address 1, and
theta 504), here in the masculine accusative singular or neuter nominative/accusative singular. Same glossing in in other lexica; evidently quoted from somewhere (perhaps
Theophrastus,
Enquiry into Plants 3.8.5).
[2] From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Thesmophoriazusae 427. Likewise in
Photius and other lexica; and cf.
tau 1040.
[3] See
theta 504.
