Synagoge theta33,
Photius theta69. The headword is unattested elsewhere, but may be a feminine anthroponym or theonym (which would explain the accentuation), or it may be instead a corruption of *
θέλκτωρ , the (unattested) nominative form of the dative
hapax θέλκτορι ('charmer'?), used adjectivally as an epithet for the goddess
Peitho ('persuasion') at
Aeschylus,
Suppliant Women 1040 (Web address 1). Either explanation would account for why the gloss here is in the feminine gender. See LSJ entry for
θέλκτωρ (Web address 2); and cf. generally
theta 103,
theta 108,
theta 109.
