From a Second-Century Papyrus:
J am thrown by the wily avis of the Cyprus-born :
for whithersoever [on sea or land I flee, thither]

Cramer Laedlite (Oxford): It is asked with revard to the

feminine found in Alcaeus

how he has come to use the form τέρενα ‘soft, smooth’; and

genitive is transterred to the nominative which thus be-
comes répevos With a feminine τερένη. of which the genitive
is τερένης, Aeolic τερένας, as above.
