[1] The headword is feminine nominative singular of this adjective; perhaps quoted from
Homer,
Iliad 13.773 (of
Ilion); for the gloss cf. in any event the
scholia to
Homer,
Iliad 2.573, where the accusative occurs ('[possessing] lofty Gonoessa').
[2] In appendix to Crusius' edition of
Babrius, p.215; cf.
alphaiota 339. On Strife (
Eris; Latin
discordia) see generally A.L.Brown in OCD(3) s.v.
Eris.
[3] Dative plural feminine of the headword adjective.
[4] Fragment of elegiac fable, in appendix to Crusius' edition of
Babrius, p.220. Crusius reads
βάτος instead of
βατίς : a bramble-bush instead of a bird (stone-chat?).
