- δ1620Δύσερινquarrelsome… note); evidently quoted from somewhere. In the literature du/seris and filo/neikos frequently occur together: e.g. Pindar, Olympians 6.19; Isocrates 1.31; Plutarch, Philopoemen 17.7. [2] As in Hesychius delta2563. See also Etymologicum Magnum: *du/serin: filo/neikon. …

- κ1043Κατηδολέσχησά σουI wearied you with my prattling… 32 (p.40.9 Bidez-Cumont). For a similar phrase, again in a philosophical context, see Plutarch, Moralia 503B (from the de Garrulitate), an anecdote about Aristotle wearied with the talk of an interlocutor. As in Julian's …
- δ616Διαλλακτήςreconciler, mediator… Adler prints filw/ths (otherwise unattested), while noting the ms variants filo/ths and filiwth/s. If filo/ths ('friendship') is correct, the lexicographer has mistaken the nomen agentis diallakth/s for an abstract noun meaning roughly 'reconciliation'; the …
- δ1615Δυσέντευκτοςhard to deal with… BCE (Theophrastus, Characters 19.3); also used by Polybius, Josephus, Plutarch, Philo Judaeus, and Patristic writers.
- κ1237Κεκιβδήλευταιis adulterated, has been adulterated… author who provides the only attestations of it outside lexica: Philo Judaeus, De Decalogo 3.2, De Specialibus Legibus 1.326.2, and Quod omnis probus liber sit 98.4. Philo's usage is figurative (referring to souls and …
- ε517Ἐκνόμοιςoutlawed, unlawful… of this adjective. It must be quoted from somewhere; perhaps Philo Judaeus, who has two instances (and cf. under epsilon 516).
- κ1252Κεκομψευμένοςingenious… passive sense) (LSJ s.v.). The former sense is exemplified by Philo Judaeus, De migratione Abrahami 75.6: oi( ta\ politika\ kekomyeume/noi, "those who are smart about politics". The latter is exemplified by Plato, Philebus 56C: …
- δ1573Δύναμιςcapability, capacity, ability, potentiality, power… sequence: Alexander of Aphrodisias, On the Topica 348.24-32, 349.18-19; John Philoponus, On the de anima 34.6-19, 265.12-20. [1] Copied to delta 508, where the present entry's ba/llein 'to throw" is correctly diaba/llein "to slander". …

- δ1224Διῴδειused to swell with anger… be quoted from somewhere, perhaps (as Latte on Hesychius suggests) Philo Judaeus, Legatio ad Gaium 254. LSJ entry at web address 1; and cf delta 1225, delta 1274, delta 1275.
- λ832Λυμαντικόςdestroyer… fr.84 Diels/Kranz, and Hermarchus fr.34 Longo Auricchio; also in (e.g.) Philo Judaeus and Epictetus.
- ε118Ἔγκοτονspite, spiteful… may be that this primary headword too is extracted from Philo Judaeus (Legatio in Gaium 260), though Theodoridis opts for Herodotus 3.59.4. [2] Likewise in Hesychius (epsilon253) and elsewhere. Latte claims it as quoted …
- α833Ἀκέραιονunblemished… frailty in Plutarch (Moralia 464B, 484C, 784A, 819F, etc.) and Philo Judaeus (LA 3.193, Sac. 15-16, etc.). The entry perahps suggests an etymological relationship between the adjective and this noun (cf. a)kh/ratos, and the …
- ε516Ἐκνομίωςunusually… i.e. without the iota. This form is not attested before Philo Judaeus (cf. under epsilon 517) and Aelian.
- α3420ἈπολλώνιοςApollonios, Apollonius… present entry draws on the problematic "biography" of him by Philostratos, for whom see phi 421-423 (and OCD(4) p.1137, under 'Philostrati'). [1] Philostratos (1.4) follows the Homeric portrait of Proteus (Odyssey 4.349ff) as residing …
- ε2755Ἐπιφροσύνῃwith thoughtfulness… loc.cit., though other possibilities are Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 3.659, and Philo Judaeus (eight instances). [1] cf. generally epsilon 2756.
- ε3123ἘσσαῖοιEssenes, Essaioi… 1.328.7-10, 329.11-17, 344.19-21. The Essaioi or Essenoi are mentioned by Philo, Josephus, Pliny, and later authors (see Catholic Encyclopedia entry by E.P. Graham at web address 1, Jewish Encyclopedia entry by Kaufmann Kohler at …
- αι117Αἰθεροβατεῖνto aether-tread, to tread the aether… Eunapius. But this rare verb is used far more by Philo Judaeus than any other author.)
- η254Ἠλογήθησανthey were disregarded… use the headword: 28.9.8.) [3] Perhaps a foreshortened version of Philo Judaeus, de providentia fr.2 (quoted by Eusebius): tw=n a)/llwn a)gaqw=n pa/ntwn h)lo/goun.
- ε3819Εὐχάvow… very rarely attested, but see e.g. Aeschylus, Suppliant Women 657: filo/timos eu)xa/ (web address 1). [1] Psalm 115.5 LXX. [2] cf. Etymologicum Gudianum and other lexica.
- η76Ἠγγύαwas giving as a pledge… was offering, was guaranteeing. Photius, Lexicon eta19 Theodoridis and Herennius Philo, De diversis verborum significationibus eta88 Palmieri (where perhaps the Photian entry is taken from) have the gloss w(molo/gei dw/sein, 'was agreeing to give'. …

- ε3210Ἐστηλιτευμένονencolumned, enslabbed… somewhere. Outside lexicography, extant instances are confined to two in Philo Judaeus (Quis rerum divinarum heres sit 258, De congressu eruditionis gratia 58: both neuter), who has a fondness for this verb generally.
- ε80Ἐγκατέσκηψανthey fell upon… with neuter plural subject); probably (as Latte on Hesychius suggests) Philo Judaeus, De vita contemplativa 2, its only independent attestation. [2] Aelian fr. 286 Domingo-Forasté (288 Hercher); cf. lambda 465. [3] This, also in …
- α1296Ἀλκτῆρεςprotectors… (13.78 Kaibel), and Aelian, Varia Historia 2.4: qei/as a(ghth=res e)fameri/ois filo/tatos, "guides of divine friendship for mortals". See further H.W. Parke & D.E.W. Wormell, The Delphic Oracle (Oxford 1956) no.327; J. Fontenrose, The Delphic …
