αι289ΑἱρετίζωI am a heretic, I make a [heretical] choiceSimilarly in ps.-Zonaras. [1] Likewise in syntactical lexica; and cf. eta 494. [2] (Addendum lacking, Adler reports, in two of the mss, as well as in ps.-Zonaras.) Perhaps quoted from the Septuagint: Psalms 24.12 …Matched in noteshighshort

ε261Ἐδωρήσατοdonated[1] Likewise in ps.-Zonaras. The headword is third person singular, aorist middle, of dwre/w (cf. epsilon 260, delta 1477). It might be extracted from the quotation which follows, though ps.-Zonaras does not have it, …Matched in noteshighshort

ε462Ἐκκλείουσιthey close outSame entry (but with the quotation foreshortened) in ps.-Zonaras. [1] The headword is present indicative active, third person plural, of the verb e)kklei/w (cf. epsilon 461); presumably extracted from the quotation given. [2] Polybius …Matched in noteshighshort

ε590Ἐκ πολλοῦfrom a great [time], from long ago[1] Likewise in ps.-Zonaras. The headword phrase is probably extracted from the quotation given (though ps.-Zonaras does not have it). [2] Aelian fr. 348 Domingo-Forasté (352 Hercher). This idiom can also mean "for a …Matched in noteshighshort

ε1560Ἔξαρνοςobstinately denying, obstinate in denying[1] Same gloss at Etymologicum Magnum 346.50; cf. ps.-Zonaras, epsilon755, with gloss a)rnou/menos (Hesychius epsilon3604, Scholia recentiora on Aristophanes, Clouds 1230a). See also ps.-Zonaras iota1124 [ = iota 728], where the same explanation occurs …Matched in noteshighshort

ε2557Ἐπίσαλοςsea-tossedThe headword adjective is in the masculine nominative singular; this is presumably generated by the genitive plural in the quotation given. [1] Likewise (twice over) in ps.-Zonaras. [2] Theophylact Simocatta, Histories 6.5.5-6; on the …Matched in noteshighshort

ε3331Ἐτώθαζονthey were mockingSame entry, minus the quotation, taken over by ps.-Zonaras. The primary headword -- presumably extracted from the quotation -- is imperfect, third person plural, of twqa/zw (tau 855). [1] Procopius, History of the Wars …Matched in noteshighshort

ε3858Ἐφέντεςyielding[1] Same glossing reproduced by ps.-Zonaras. The headword itself is aorist active participle, masculine nominative plural, of e)fi/hmi. It might be extracted from the quotation given here, though ps.-Zonaras does have it, and other …Matched in noteshighshort

α116Ἀγαθοθέλειαdesire for the good[1] The headword (a single word in the Greek) is a very rare feminine noun. It is glossed with this same phrase in the parallel entry in ps.-Zonaras. [2] 'Anon.': LSJ s.v. Perhaps Polybius, …Matched in noteshighshort

α121Ἀγαθόςgood[1] This material (from an unidentifiable source) is found only in the parallel entry in ps.-Zonaras. From the second sentence onwards it seems to be disputing the initial, simple equivalence. [2] Quotation unidentifiable, but …Matched in noteshighshort

α174Ἀγάστουof an admirable… of the mss for the gloss, qana/tou, is shared with Zonaras p.14 Tittmann and Eudemus (according to Adler's apparatus). Other sources (Photius; Bachmann, Anecdota graeca I p.7, 21) have the more comprehensible qaumastou=, "wondrous" …Matched in noteshighshort

α487Ἀδικοδοξίαmalevolence, machinatingSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. [1] Polybius fr. 95 Büttner-Wobst. Büttner-Wobst notes (p. 527) that this fragment was attributed to Polybius by Valesius (Henri de Valois 1603-1676). For a definite Polybian instance of this very …Matched in noteshighshort

α500Ἀδόκιμοςunsatisfactory, reprobate, disreputableSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. See LSJ at web address 1. Gloss here = alpha 499 headword.Matched in noteshighshort

α504Ἀδοξεῖταιis disgracefulSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. [1] The second glossing phrase indicates that the subject of the headword -- a single word in the Greek -- is neuter. This makes it probable (though not demonstrable) that …Matched in noteshighshort

α599ἉζητόςvenerableSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword adjective -- derived from the verb a(/zomai -- is otherwise unattested. For the glossing word see sigma 178.Matched in noteshighshort

α609Ἀειγλήνῃσιν(with) constant-dirtinessesA dative plural. Ps.-Zonaras has it in the form a)eiglinh=|si, with the gloss tai=s dihne/kesi r(upari/ais "with continual filthinesses." The word is not otherwise attested in any form, but the first element of its …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

α764ἌθρυπτοςunbrokenLikewise in ps.-Zonaras. The headword is the masculine/feminine nominative singular (here feminine: see next note) of the two-termination adjective a)/qruptos; cf. theta 519, theta 520, theta 521. [1] The second, third and fourth of …Matched in noteshighshort

α770Ἀθυρογλωττίαimpudent loquacitySame headword -- a single word in the Greek -- in ps.-Zonaras but glossed as 'nonsense' (fluari/a). For this term -- literally playfulness of the tongue -- see e.g. Polybius 8.10.1 (criticizing this in …Matched in noteshighshort

α776Ἀκάθαρτοςimpure, unclean, uncleansed[1] While the headword itself could be either masculine or feminine (singular) in gender, this glossing word is feminine. Perhaps, therefore, the origin of the entry -- also in ps.-Zonaras -- was a comment …Matched in noteshighshort

α782ἈκακίαguilelessnessSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. The headword noun is found in classical literature (e.g. [Demosthenes] and Aristotle) as well as ecclesiastical; the glossing one belongs to the vocabulary of the latter only.Matched in noteshighshort

α797ἌκανθαthornTheodoret (PG 80, 1088d-89a) on Psalm 31.4 LXX. Same entry in ps.-Zonaras.Matched in noteshighshort

α816ἈκαταιτίατοςunaccusableSame entry in ps.-Zonaras; similar one already in Hesychius (for the accusative). LSJ s.v. (web address 1) cites 2 passages of Josephus, Jewish War, for this adjective; there are in fact 6 in all.Matched in noteshighshort

α830Ἀκενόσπουδονshunning of vain pursuitsSame entity in ps.-Zonaras. The headword -- a single word in the Greek: neuter singular of an adjective which serves as an abstract noun -- is presumably extracted from the quotation given. [1] cf. …Matched in noteshighshort

α860Ἀκηδήςuncared-for, uncaringFor the twin senses of the headword a)khdh/s glossed and illustrated here, see generally LSJ s.v. [1] Similar glossing in Photius and elsewhere. [2] Quotation (also in ps.-Zonaras) unidentifiable. [3] Aelian fr. 241b Domingo-Forasté …Matched in noteshighmedium

α895Ἀκληρήμασι(to) accidentsSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. The headword, dative plural of the neuter noun a)klh/rhma, is presumably extracted from the quotation given. [1] The glosses are the dative plurals of the feminine nouns sumfora/ and dustuxi/a, …Matched in noteshighshort

α897Ἀκληρούντων(of) unfortunatesSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. The headword -- present participle, masculine (or neuter) plural, of the verb a)klhre/w -- is perhaps (though not demonstrably) extracted from the quotation given. cf. generally alpha 895, alpha 896. …Matched in noteshighshort
