Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'It is possible that μείζων[a] as an expression of degree differs somewhat in meaning from πλείων[b], even as in the positive degree a distinction seems to occur between μέγας[b] ({D:78.2}) and πολύς[c] ({D:78.3}). In the comparative forms, however, it seems difficult to substantiate this type of distinction.'}
