An entry probably taken from the Lexicon Ambrosianum.
The headword adjective occurs once in Homer (Odyssey 5.118: plural) and fairly frequently in later poetry.
[1] The lemma is glossed using the middle/passive participle of the verb from which it is derived (ζηλόω ). The Homeric scholia (see above), Hesychius (zeta135), and Aelius Herodianus (Partitiones 41) use substantives with similar meanings: ζηλότυπος (derived from the same verb) and/or φθονερός .
