What it meant

This reads as a proper name — a river, a person, a place — held only because the corpus attests it. It stands outside the library's subject, the vocabulary of the soul, so no lexicon entry is recorded.

In the wild

• Χρυσὲ · Chryse Aristophanes, Wasps (DIORISIS sentence 918)
• Χρυσός · Chrysos Plotinus, Enneads 1.6 (DIORISIS sentence 382)
