         Comments: The person referred to as a νεανίας in {S:04402000900008} is called a {L:παῖς} ‘boy’ (see {D:9.41}) in {S:04402001200008}. This should not be understood as identity in meaning, since the person concerned could have been of such an age that either ‘young man’ or ‘boy’ was a possible denotation. In other words, the age reference of νεανίας and {L:παῖς} overlaps in Greek. In a number of languages, however, there is a much more specific and clear-cut distinction in age grading.
