ι633Ἰσσικὸς κόλποςIssic gulf, gulf of Issos… extremity of the Mediterranean, where Cilicia met Syria. For Issos itself, site of a famous victory by Alexander the Great in 333 BCE, see iota 662.Matched in noteshighshort
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.Matched in noteshighshort

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' …Matched in noteshighshort

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.)Matched in noteshighshort
α3944Ἀρθρέμβολαarthrembola… speech In praise of the Maccabees; and indeed the headword itself is surely quoted from 4 Maccabees 8.13 LXX. LSJ s.v. gives references both for this meaning and for a more benign, medical one …Matched in noteshighshort
κ525Κατὰ δήμους δικασταίdeme justices, justices by demes… Demosthenes 24.112. [1] And operated from the city of Athens itself. See generally the authority whom Harpok. cites: ?Aristotle, Athenaion Politeia 53.Matched in noteshighshort
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.Matched in noteshighshort
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 …Matched in noteshighshort
κ2069ΚορβανᾶςKorbanas… written Korbonas. [2] A careless transcription -- omitting the headword itself -- of Josephus, Jewish War 2.175-7 (web address 1). For this episode cf. pi 1595.Matched in noteshighshort

ε549Ἑκὼν ἀέκοντί γε θυμῷwilling but with an unwilling heart… cf. de Boor (182) and Whitby (126). The Homeric phrase itself (from Iliad 4.43) has appeared already at epsilon 531.Matched in noteshighshort
ε469Ἐκκλησιάζωνassembling, summoning to an assembly… from the quotation given. Both the gloss and the quotation itself indicate that this is the transitive sense of the verb (II in LSJ s.v.). The intransitive sense is most famously illustrated by Aristophanes' …Matched in noteshighshort
δ980Διέφερονthey bore through, they bore to the end… to Thucydides 1.11.2, and then purports to quote the passage itself (which in fact does not mention the Athenians; the (implicit) subjects are actually the Trojans in the Trojan War). See text at web …Matched in noteshighshort
ε2903Ἐργαστήριονworkshop… invoked comes from Xenophon, Agesilaus 1.26 (web address 1 -- itself an echo of Hellenica 3.4.17), and it became quasi-proverbial; besides Polybius, witness Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 10.421B [10.18 Kaibel].Matched in noteshighshort
ε4050Ἐχύρωμαsecurity, security-barrier… glossing term is an abstract feminine noun, but the headword itself implies something more concrete (both in general and in the quotation given). [2] Theophylact Simocatta, Histories 2.18.15; see more fully at sigma 100 …Matched in noteshighshort
κ32Καθάπαξonce and for all… where Theodoridis cautiously endorses Naber's view that the headword adverb itself is extracted from Homer, Odyssey 21.349. [2] Quotation not identified by Adler, but identifiable via the TLG as Josephus, Jewish War 4.237 (web …Matched in noteshighshort
δ776Διατάγματαedicts… the gloss on this passage cf. alpha 1612. The passage itself is an approximation of Herodian 7.12.2 (which in fact contains the singular of the headword); 'he' is the shortlived (238 CE) joint Roman …Matched in noteshighshort
ε2602Ἐπισταθμευόμενοιproviding billets, providing quarters… headword participle e)pistaqmeuo/menoi, again at epsilon 2603, does not lend itself to these glosses; it must be faulty (perhaps, slightly out of alphabetical order, e)pistaqmw/menoi, "pondering"?). [2] Phokaians, rather. [3] Polybius 21.6.1 (preserved only …Matched in noteshighshort
κ599Κατάκραςutterly… here, treats the glossing clause as part of the quotation itself.Matched in noteshighshort
λ279ΛεωτυχίδηςLeotychides, Leotychidas… the name which occurs in the historical record is Leotychides itself, notably as the name of that of two Eurypontid kings of Sparta. For Leotychidas (sic: Doric dialect) II, who reigned c.491-469, see OCD(4) …Matched in noteshighshort
ε1138Ἐναυλήματαbarley-soaksSame entry in other lexica, but the (neuter plural) headword itself, e)naulh/mata, is problematic.

α2235Ἀν' ἑκάστηνon each, on every… alpha 1596 and the note there. As to the quotation itself, Adler cites it as Polybius 36.8.1, but that passage is significantly different. Unidentifiable, rather.Matched in noteshighshort
δ676Διανταίᾳ πληγῇwith a wound extending throughout… is presumably extracted from the quotation given. The (unglossed) quotation itself, found only here, is unidentifiable, but it looks like post-classical historiography. (Compare very generally Diodorus Siculus 16.94.3 on the assassination of Philip II …Matched in noteshighshort
ε554Ἐκ παντόςcompletely… the temporal meaning mentioned in the entry for the adverb itself (delta 1160). [2] Quotation not identified by Adler but identifiable via the TLG as an approximation (after e)k panto\s read a)piou=sin au)toi=s h)kolou/qhsan) …Matched in noteshighshort
