Ἀνδραποδώδεις· δουλοπρεπεῖς, δουλογνώμονας. καὶ Ἀνδραποδώδης θρίξ, ἐπὶ τῶν ἠλιθίων. Πλάτων φησίν· ἔχων τὰς ἀνδραποδώδεις ἐπὶ τῆς ψυχῆς τρίχας ὑπὸ ἀμουσίας.

Notes (4)
- = Photius, Lexicon alpha1747 + alpha1756 Theodoridis.↩
- 1Same or similar glossing in other lexica, including Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon. The headword adjective, as the second gloss shows, is masculine/feminine accusative plural. Apparently, it purports to be quoted from Plato's Alcibiades 1, but in fact the phrase from there is mis-quoted (here and in several of the paroemiographers); cf. note below. (Plato, Phaedrus 258E, has the corresponding nominative plural.) Either, therefore, the misquotation was entrenched early enough to generate this glossing or else accusative
a)ndrapodw/deis is extracted from somewhere else -- such as Xenophon, Memorabilia 1.1.16 or 4.2.22. ↩- 2Meaning in practice crudely close-cropped; cf. alpha 2157. ↩

- 4Imperfectly quoted from Plato, Alcibiades 1.120B (web address 1 below).
