Ἀλίαστος· ὁ μὴ ἐκφεύγων.

Betacode

*)ali/astos: o( mh\ e)kfeu/gwn.

Same entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. (Hesychius s.v. has different glossing; Latte there regards the source as Homer, Iliad 2.797.)
This epic word is also used by (e.g.) Euripides in lyrics. From lia/zomai "recoil, shrink (from)" (cf. lambda 481).
