Ἀκαθαίρετος
impregnable, irrefragable
Same entry in ps.-Zonaras. [1] If this phrase is the quotation is appears to be, it is unidentifiable. (But the glossing word, a)kata/blhtos, is used of towers in a scholion to Euripides, Hecuba 1.)

Ἀναδομή

The headword, a feminine noun, is attested only here and in the parallel entry in ps.-Zonaras. "Rebuilding" is the LSJ translation for it (and is unproblematic for the verb related to it, a)nadome/w), though …

The headword is a synonym for alpha 2163 (q.v.). The present entry (also in ps.-Zonaras) is paralleled in Hesychius alpha4747, who has the genitive plural a)ndrodo/mwn glossed with trikli/nwn. See also Eustathius, Commentary on …

The headword -- aorist middle, third person singular, of the verb a)nade/mw -- must be quoted from somewhere (probably Josephus' Jewish War, where there are three instances: 1.201, 1.265, 1.425). [1] This gloss is …

An incorrect quotation (and headword extracted therefrom) of Callimachus, Hecale fr. 324; again under omicroniota 62. The correct reading de/moimi, first person singular optative of the rare verb de/mw 'I build', has been wrongly …

For this form of the headword noun, dorodo/kos, see also under sigma 1228, in ps.-Zonaras' entry which echoes the present one, and in Etymologicum Magnum 731.10. LSJ s.v. nevertheless registers it as dourodo/kos, as …

Same entry in ps.-Zonaras. [1] cf. epsilon 209, epsilon 222, epsilon 248. [2] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. (Adler suggests Aelian.)
