Lewis & Short

Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.

hyperbŏlē, ēs, f., = ὑπερβολή, a rhet. fig., exaggeration, hyperbole (pure Lat. superlatio and superjectio), Quint. 8, 6, 67 sq.; 8, 4, 29; Sen. Ben. 7, 23 (in Cic. Top. 10, 45, and Fam. 7, 32, 2, written as Greek).
