Meaning

Nature is φιλίη at X.11. The exact printed form can be the Ionic feminine of φίλιος or the Ionic noun corresponding to φιλία. The English chooses loving; the apparatus's φιλία does not by itself decide between noun and adjective. This entry retains the attested form as its access label rather than forcing a certainty the local wording does not supply.
