Κένανδρον

Notes

1. Same or similar entry in other lexica; see the references at Photius kappa560 Theodoridis. The headword, which must be quoted from somewhere, is a two-termination adjective in the accusative (masculine, feminine or neuter) singular. It occurs twice in Attic tragedy, each time describing a depopulated/deserted town or city -- Aeschylus, Persae 119 (Susa, called an asty), and Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus 917 (polis) -- and the Aeschylus passage is the one likely to have generated the present entry; cf. various scholia there.
   Theodoridis evidently disagrees, preferring to cite Cyril of Alexandria, Commentary on Isaiah 1.6 (PG 70.296a), which should as he says have produced the gloss kenh\n a)ndrw=n. In any event the lexicographers' a)/ndra involves a misinterpretation of the adjective as describing a man.
