α3523Ἀποσκευαζόμενοςdiscarding, discounting, disowning, jettisoning[1] For this verb cf. generally alpha 3059. Its present participle (masculine nominative singular), here, must be quoted from somewhere; same or similar glossing in other lexica.

δ1640ΔυσθετήσαςdissatisfiedThe headword (presumably extracted from the first quotation given) is the aorist active participle, masculine nominative singular, of dusqete/w. In fact this verb occurs almost exclusively in participle forms in all periods (mainly in …Matched in noteshighshort

δ1375Δοξούμενοι(they) credited with being, (they) having the characterIn ms M only, Adler reports.

δ1093Δίκηςof justiceThe headword is the genitive singular of the noun di/kh (delta 1089, delta 1090, etc.), evidently quoted from somewhere, although not from either of the quotations given; perhaps from commentary to Aristophanes, Clouds 764 …Matched in noteshighmedium

ε1021Ἐμπλασσόμενοιstriking out atThe headwords for this entry and epsilon 1022 have been transmitted as identical, but see n.1 below (and under epsilon 1022). [1] Present participle, nominative masculine plural, presumably extracted from the quotation which follows. …Matched in noteshighshort

α150Ἀγαπᾶνto love, to receive favorably, to be content with.… expression meaning "please...". There are classical Attic instances in Plato (Meno 75C) and Isocrates (Letters 6.6); and see generally LSJ s.v. a)gapa/w, III.1.Matched in noteshighshort

α1652ἈμπέχῃwearingThe SOL text wrongly shows the supplementary headword a)pe/xh|, not the primary one a)mpexo/menos. For the verb a)mpe/xw cf. eta 362. [1] The headword, which has the same glossing in other lexica and is …Matched in noteshighshort

α2667Ἀντικαταλλαττόμενοςchanging, coming to an agreementThe unglossed headword is the present participle, masculine nominative singular, of the doubly compound verb a)ntikatalla/ttomai. It is quoted from Demosthenes 19.114 -- but oddly this Suda entry, including that very quotation, twice has …Matched in noteshighshort

α4218ἈστάθμητονuncertainThe unglossed headword is presumably extracted from the first quotation given. [1] Quotation unidentifiable, but Adler (apparatus) suggested Polybius. It may be an aphorism or proverbial saying, also reflected in Leo the Deacon (History …Matched in noteshighmedium

αι329Αἰσθόμενοιhaving perceived[1] Cassius Dio 38.34.1. ('They' are the Gauls.) While forms of ai)sqa/nomai can govern the genitive (cf. alphaiota 323, alphaiota 324), here ai)sqo/menoi takes as its object a participial phrase in the accusative.Matched in noteshighshort

δ240ΔέομοςconstraintSame entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon. The form de/omos is otherwise unattested, but Hesychius has entries for de/hmos (delta422) and, apparently, deo/menos (delta651) with the same glossing. (LSJ prints the latter.)Matched in noteshighshort

δ444Δημοκοπεῖνto court the mob[1] Polybius 25.3.1, omitting the adverb "immediately." See again kappa 566 and pi 1370, which include it; also epsilon 840. (For this verb in Polybius in another sense -- to play the noble Greek …Matched in noteshighshort

δ468Δημοῦσθαιto talk popularlySame entry in other lexica, including Photius, who cites Plato for this sense of the verb (= Theaetetus 161E, which has the participle dhmou/menon; cf. the scholia there). [1] See delta 444. [2] This …Matched in noteshighshort

δ1402Δορυφορεῖattends (as a bodyguard)The headword is present indicative active, third person singular, of the verb dorufore/w, literally 'carry a spear' or 'be a spear-carrier'. (For the noun cognate with this verb see delta 1403.) It must be …Matched in noteshighshort

ε70<20Ἐγκαλινδεῖσθαι σωματικοῖς παθήμασιto wallow in bodily affectionsA marginal gloss mising from mss TFV and misplaced in ms G. Adler tentatively ascribes it to Symeon Metaphrastes.
