Translation

Name of a month among Macedonians, [namely] November,¹ [sc. Also an adjective denoting] the young and the illustrious.² The vocative [is] w)= di=e.³ It also indicates the name of a place.⁴

Greek original · Adler’s text

Δῖος· ὄνομα μηνὸς παρὰ Μακεδόσιν, ὁ Νοέμβριος, ὁ νέος δὲ καὶ ὁ ἔνδοξος. ἡ κλητικὴ ὦ δῖε. σημαίνει δὲ καὶ ὄνομα τόπου.

Betacode

*di=os: o)/noma mhno\s para\ *makedo/sin, o( *noe/mbrios, o( ne/os de\ kai\ o( e)/ndocos. h( klhtikh\ w)= di=e. shmai/nei de\ kai\ o)/noma to/pou.

Notes (3)

[1] *di=os was indeed a month of the Macedonian calendar, corresponding to Attic Pyanepsion (October-November).
2cf. e.g. Etymologicum Magnum 278.15-18 for the gloss e)/ndocos [NB: some Suda mss do not begin the present gloss until o( e)/ndocos]; and see already delta 1167. ↩
3As in e.g. Homer, Iliad 8.185; and see under alpha 1421 = sigma 569. ↩
4No Dios is attested as a toponym (except as the first element of Dios Hieron); the lexicographer must mean one of the several places called Dion/Dium, the best-known of them in Pieria (N Greece).
