- α447Ἄδειαimpunity… An approximation -- the final participle should be a)ntipoli/zontos, "building itself up as an opposing city" -- of Josephus, Jewish War 5.72-3 (web address 1 below); cf. pi 1884.
- α2248Ἀνελεῖνto overturn; to take up… no/mon: "having overturned the law, [the Council] elected this man itself".
- ε1222Ἐνεδοίαζενwas in two mindsFor the verb itself see already epsilon 1189. This imperfect (a gloss at epsilon 3145, q.v.) must be quoted from somewhere; extant possibilities begin with Josephus and Appian.
- ε3947Ἐφορείαoversight… 3946 (and epsilon 3948 for another sense of the headword itself). Similar entry in Photius, Lexicon epsilon2465, where Theodoridis identifies it as Christian, related to Philostorgius, Historia ecclesiastica 3.15.
- η330Ἡμικάδιονhalf-kados… 10.71 (citing the Atthidographer Philochorus). Both it and the kados itself (kappa 24) are measures of wine.
- χ451Χωστρίςdigging-shed… either as a adjective attached to 'tortoise' (xelw/nh) or by itself.
- ε416Ἐκεράϊζονthey were despoiling… from somewhere -- perhaps Herodotus (7.125, 8.91). For the verb itself cf. kappa 1351.
- ι754Ἴτυξityx… the term to be a variant of i)=duc, which is itself another name for the iktis (iota 281); so Herodian, citing Alexandros of Myndos (FGrH 25 -- but this putative fragment is ignored there).
- ε782Ἐλεεινῶςpitiably… scholion on Homer, Iliad 2.314 (where e)leeina/ occurs). The adverb itself is not extant before Polybius (14.5.10).
- α925Ἀκοντίinvoluntarily… the latter is by far the more common. The headword itself, in fact, is not attested until Plutarch (Life of Fabius Maximus 5.2.) and remains very rare thereafter.
- γ213ΓεφυρίςGephyraean (woman)[1] Herodotus 5.57 (web address 1 below). The present headword itself, however, is unattested outside lexicography.
- χ91Χαραδροῦταιis being gullied… quoted from somewhere but is not independently attested. The verb itself occurs first in Herodotus: see LSJ s.v. cf. generally chi 86, chi 87.
- δ1700ΔυστραπελίαintransigenceThe (unglossed) headword itself is unattested in this precise form (dustrapelia) outside lexicography, but for dustrapeleia see e.g. Diodorus Siculus 4.11.6, 5.15.5. For the adjective see also delta 1701.
- α1882Ἀναθρώσκειsprings up… of the headword verb appears. (Likewise Hesychius s.v.) The headword itself, however, must be quoted from somewher else -- perhaps Herodotus (3.64.2 or 7.18.1).
- ι738ἸτέαItea, Eitea… the next derive from Harpokration s.v. Iteaios, which explicitly concerns itself with the deme Eitea in the tribe Akamantis; note, however, that there was also an Eitea in the tribe Antiochis. For bibliography see …
- ε3488Εὖ θέσθαιto place well… 4.59.4). Theodoridis on Photius s.v. suggests that the headword phrase itself comes from Thuc. 4.61.6. Alternatively, perhaps relating to arrangement/organisation in rhetoric.
- α2680Ἀντιλογιῶνdisputations… for this genitive plural (web address 1 below); the noun itself does occur in book 1, but in the accusative singular (1.31.4, 1.73.1). [2] Aristophanes, Clouds 321 (web address 2).
- ε1636Ἐξ ἐπιτάγματοςby command, by injunction… the quotation given, or simply illustrated by it. (The phrase itself occurs in Demosthenes 19.185. and frequently in post-classical writers.) cf. generally epsilon 2661. [1] Quotation -- and hence the identity of the 'Caesar' …
- χ59ΧάλοςChalos, Chalus… regarded as divine and were accordingly protected. The river 'Chalos' itself (again under phi 113) has been tentatively identified with the Belus; it flows near Beroia in Syria (Barrington Atlas map 67 grid E4).
- κ1089Κατοργᾶνbe quite eager, to press ahead… Hesychius kappa1845 and Photius, Lexicon kappa486 Theodoridis. The headword verb itself, a strengthened version of o)rga=n (omicron 519, omicron 520), is extremely rare (LSJ entry at web address 1). TLG shows it as appearing …
- κ1013Κατευνάζεταιis lulled to sleep… where the aorist passive occurs (web address 1). The headword itself must be quoted from somewhere; extant possibilities include Theophylact Simocatta, Histories 2.10.3, and again (see kappa 1012) Cyril of Alexandria (Commentary on John …
- κ1997Κόμμιgum… starting with Herodotus 2.96: "its sap is gum". The headword itself, ko/mmi, is a non-Greek word, perhaps Egyptian (LSJ s.v.).
- ι538Ἱππεῖς λευκοθώρακεςwhite-corsleted horsemen… here, from Xenophon, Anabasis 1.8.9 (web address 1), is not itself glossed. [1] Julian, oration 7, 205D.
- α2381Ἀνείμουν τοῖς δόρασινthey were hauling (each other) up with their spears… toi=s do/rasi), but omitting 'each other' and with the verb itself as the unparalleled a)nei/moun rather than a)ni/mwn -- correctly at alpha 2471 (and in Photius s.v.)
- ε2375Ἐπικηρυκεύεταιsends a message by herald… address 1), where the infinitive e)pikhrukeu/esqai appears. For this headword itself see e.g. Thucydides 7.83.2 (web address 2). cf. generally epsilon 2038, and also epsilon 2376, epsilon 2377.
- δ774Διασφάξcleft… lexica, including Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon. That work does not confine itself to Plato, however, so there is no call to doubt the assertion in (e.g.) Philoxenus and the Lexicon Vindobonense that dia/sfac is extracted …
- α2001Ἀναπεπταμένα χωρίαwide-open districts… is the plural of the Latin campus. The headword phrase itself, neuter plural, includes the perfect middle/passive participle of the verb a)napeta/nnumi (often used of eyes). It is presumably quoted from somewhere; for something …
- δ1559Δοιδυκοποιόςpestle-maker… ps.-Herodian 24. Outside these lexica and grammars the present headword itself occurs only in (and is therefore probably generated by) Plutarch, Phocion 4.2, quoting the historian Idomeneus of Lampsacus (FGrH 338 F15); Idomeneus claims …
- α2385Ἀνεῖργενhindered… lexica. [2] Same glossing in Photius and elsewhere. The headword itself must be quoted from somewhere. (There are possibilities in Josephus and elsewhere.) [3] Cassius Dio 71.11.
- ε2087Ἐπέστησεstood over… relevant usage, though there is no nu-moveable in the headword itself. [2] Quotation not identified by Adler, but TLG searching reveals it to be Cassius Dio 17.57.78 (contextless). (Could also mean "he suddenly stopped …
