Ancient Greek; tagged but not listed. It's given in R:LSJ and Wilhelm Pape's Ancient Greek–German dictionary, but they both say it's a wrong reading for, and the works cited are by Quintilian and Pliny, both of whom wrote in Latin, not Greek. It's therefore not at all clear that is attested anywhere, at least not in classical Ancient Greek. Maybe it's attested in Medieval Greek (as an antecessor to modern ?), but then it's probably a loanword from Latin. Basically, it looks like was coined in Latin on the basis of a mistaken reading of a Greek phrase. —Mahāgaja · talk 08:43, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
