Ὀνείατα· οὐ πάντως βρώματα, ὡς οἱ γλωσσογράφοι, ἀλλὰ πάντα τὰ εἰς ὄνησιν ἐπιτήδεια. Ὅμηρος· ὀνείατ' ἄγοντα. οὐκ εἶπε δὲ φέροντα· οὐδὲ γὰρ ἐβάσταζεν.

Notes (2)
- The headword, evidently extracted from the quotation given, is a neuter noun (LSJ's sense I of omicron 333) in the accusative plural. The headword is the word in its entirety, while in almost all cases in Homer, including the quotation given, the final alpha is elided, yielding
o)nei/at' in the quotation given, ando)nei/aq' fourteen times in the formulaic phraseoi( d' e)p' o)nei/aq' e(toi=ma prokei/mena xei=ras i)/allon ("and they threw their hands upon the ready goods that were lying before them"): e.g. Iliad 9.19; Odyssey 15.142. The unelided form only occurs twice in Homer: Odyssey 10.9 and 15.316. - 1A phrase from Homer, Iliad 24.367. The rest of the gloss is derived from Aristonicus' commentary on that passage; cf. Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon (121.23), Hesychius omicron862, Etymologicum Gudianum 429.423, Etymologicum Magnum 626.3. ↩
- 2The first 'he' in this sentence refers to Homer, the second 'he' to Homer's character Priam. ↩
