[1] Same or similar glossing in other lexica, including Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon, and cf. a scholion on Homer, Iliad 2.548, where the formulaic phrase zei/dwros a)/roura occurs, i.e. nominative case. (The present entry is couched in the accusative case, generated by the phrase's appearance in Homer, Odyssey 3.3; see the scholia there.) The scholiast derives zei/dwros from zh=n "to live"; more probably it comes from zeia/ (zeta 43).
