This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
42. βασίλισσα νότου. ‘The Queen of the South.’ So correctly and not a queen of the South as some translate. The absence of the definite article in the original is due to the influence of the Hebrew idiom. For an account of the queen of Sheba or Southern Arabia, see 1Ki 10:1.

βασίλισσα. This form is found in all the late authors for the classical βασίλεια. See Lob. Phryn. 96.
