α1108

Ἀλέγοις

might you have a care for

[sc. Meaning] might you succour, might you aid. "Might you also have a care for the man with respect to poverty". *)ale/gw also means I do not care. And Homer [writes]: "I do not care, as if a woman were hitting me."

Ἀλέγοις· ἀρήγοις, βοηθοίης. ἀλέγοις δ' ἀνέρι καὶ πενίη. Ἀλέγω· σημαίνει καὶ τὸ οὐ φροντίζω. καὶ Ὅμηρος· οὐκ ἀλέγω, ὡς εἴ με γυνὴ βάλῃ.

ε3967ἜφριξαI bristled, I shivered[1] The headword is aorist indicative active, first person singular, of the verb fri/ssw (also pi 1428, phi 718 and phi 719. For the glossing cf. the scholia to Homer, Iliad 13.339 (about to …Matched in noteshighshort

χ398Χορείανchoral dance[1] The headword (a single word in the Greek) is in the accusative case, evidently quoted from somewhere; there are numerous possibilities. [2] What follows is also in Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 1.14D [1.25 Kaibel]; cf. …Matched in noteshighshort

α556Ἀερέθονταιthey drive onSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon. Hesychius alpha1385 has the same headword but different glossing: ai)wrou=ntai, kre/mantai. Latte ad loc. regards it as being quoted from Homer, Iliad …Matched in noteshighshort

α557Ἀεργηλήnon-workingSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. The headword is feminine nominative singular of the epic/poetic adjective a)erghlo/s, perhaps (though not demonstrably) generated by the feminine genitive singular a)erghla=s in the quotation given. [1] cf. Hesychius' glossing …Matched in noteshighshort

α562Ἀερόενairy, cloudy, murkySame entry in ps.-Zonaras; longer one in Hesychius, who gives two other synonyms before the present one (me/lan, baqu/). An oddity; possibly a gloss on the occurrence of the neuter singular headword in a …Matched in noteshighshort

α657Ἀήμεναιto blowSame entry in Hesychius, ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword occurs twice in Homer: Latte on Heschius s.v. asserts that it is quoted here from Odyssey 3.156, but there may …Matched in noteshighshort

α720Ἀθέρισονslight, make light ofSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword, aorist active imperative of a)qeri/zw (LSJ entry at web address 1 below), must be quoted from somewhere but is not independently …Matched in noteshighshort

α822Ἀκαχείατοthey were grievingSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. cf. alpha 823, eta 161, eta 162. [1] From the scholia to Homer, Iliad 12.179, where the headword occurs (of the gods grieving for Greek casualties); also in Hesychius. [2] …Matched in noteshighshort

α823ἈκαχημένηgrievingSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. cf. alpha 822, eta 161, eta 162. [1] From the scholia to Homer, Iliad 5.364, where the headword occurs (of the wounded Aphrodite).Matched in noteshighshort

α907ἌκμηνοςfastingSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. [1] From the scholia to Homer, Iliad 19.163, where the headword occurs. Likewise or similarly in other lexica. According to the scholia, the adjective is derived from an Aeolic noun …Matched in noteshighshort

α953Ἄκρα κόρυμβαhigh-points; fruit-clusters[1] Same or similar entries in other lexica -- prompted by Homer, Iliad 9.241 (web address 1 below), the sole appearance of the phrase (nhw=n) a)/kra ko/rumba. For dispute over its precise meaning see …Matched in noteshighshort

α1045Ἄκυλοςacorn, pig-acornSee also epsilon 701, where this entry appears in reverse. [1] Same glossing in other lexica, and in the scholia to Homer, Odyssey 10.242, where the headword occurs in the accusative case. The acorn …Matched in noteshighshort

α1049ἍλαsaltSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. [1] A misinterpretation, surely, of this accusative singular (especially if, as is reasonable to suppose, it is extracted from the quotation given); cf. generally alpha 1047. [2] Homer, Odyssey 17.455 …Matched in noteshighshort

α1079ἌλαστεinconsolableSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. [1] The headword (vocative case) occurs in Homer, Iliad 22.261, and the gloss is the one from the scholia thereto. [2] Quotation unidentifiable in this precise form, but Adler cites …Matched in noteshighshort

α1102ἈλδήσκωI growSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon (1421). Generated by the scholia to Homer, Iliad 23.599, where the headword verb occurs (as a participle, of a ripening crop); see also …Matched in noteshighshort

α1148Ἀλεύετοwas avoidingThe headword is transmitted as an (otherwise-unattested) imperfect, as if from a)leu/omai. However, it should surely be an aorist, a)leu/ato, from a)le/omai (LSJ entry at web address 1). See ps.-Zonaras s.v., glossing with the …Matched in noteshighshort

α1209ἈλίαστοςunshrinkingSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. (Hesychius s.v. has different glossing; Latte there regards the source as Homer, Iliad 2.797.) This epic word is also used by (e.g.) Euripides …Matched in noteshighshort

α1286Ἀλκίνοοςstrong-minded; Alkinoos, Alcinous[1] Same glossing in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. [2] Whoever added this probably had in mind A. the king of the Phaeacians and father of Nausicaa (nu 70), in the …Matched in noteshighshort

α1296ἈλκτῆρεςprotectorsSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. One might suppose the nominative plural headword to be extracted from the quotation given, but see the note below. Perhaps, therefore, quoted from Homer, Iliad 18.213 (or Oppian, Halieutica 4.72). …Matched in noteshighshort

α1424ἈλύβηAlube, AlybeA place called Alybe is mentioned in Homer, Iliad 2.855 as being far away (and a source of silver). The simple gloss in Hesychius alpha3282, 'a Trojan city', can therefore not be right; however, …Matched in noteshighshort

α1447Ἀλφεσίβοιαoxen-producingSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword term occurs first (as a nominative plural) in Homer, Iliad 18.593, of virgin girls; they are "oxen-producing" in the sense of …Matched in noteshighshort

α1606Ἀμιτροχίτωνwith mitra-less chitonSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. The headword is a single word in the Greek. This kind of mitra (mu 1136) was 'a piece of armour, apparently a metal guard worn round the waist' (LSJ); and …Matched in noteshighshort

α1928Ἀνακυκλήϊονrevolving, rotatingSame entry in ps.-Zonaras; two similar ones, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword adjective, epic/poetic looking (but not in LSJ), is here in the masculine accusative singular, evidently quoted from somewhere …Matched in noteshighshort

α2178Ἀνδρόδομοςmen's apartmentThe 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 …Matched in noteshighshort

α2836Ἀξυλίαlack of timber, want of timber[1] Same entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. [2] That is, a virgin wood, not yet cut. From the scholia to Homer, Iliad 11.155, where this phrase occurs. Likewise or …Matched in noteshighshort
