Under definition 2 (a virgin), there was an erroneous reference to Iliad 11.155. Actually this passage has nothing to do with women or sex. This was based on a misunderstanding of the abbreviation Porph.ad Il.11.155 in LSJ and DGE, which actually stands for Porphyrius Tyrius, Quaestionum Homericarum ad Iliadem pertinentium reliquiae. Cunliffe, for example, lists no such sense in Homer, nor does the Cambridge Greek Lexicon.
