Translation

[Used] with a genitive. [Meaning he/she/it] has too much regard for, craves.¹
Also [sc. attested is the related present participle] glixo/menos ["longing for"], [meaning he] craving.²
But [also used] with an accusative: "and these were the things, these which [he] was longing for."³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Γλίχεται· γενικῇ. λίαν ἔχεται, ἐπιθυμεῖ. καὶ Γλιχόμενος, ἐπιθυμῶν. κατ' αἰτιατικὴν δέ· καὶ ταῦτα ἦν, ἃ ταῦτ' ἐγλίχετο.

Notes (3)

Same material, variously, in other lexica; see further below.
cf. generally gamma 288, gamma 289, epsilon 140.
1Same glossing in Photius; similar in Hesychius, where Latte reasonably suggests that the headword itself is quoted from Demosthenes 18.207 (on Aeschines). ↩
2Same gloss in Hesychius; Latte there suggests that the participle is quoted from Plato, Phaedo 117A, but there are numerous other possibilities. ↩
3This quotation is given more accurately in other lexica, and also attributed there: Demosthenes 5.22 (on Philip).
