- ε1177Ἐν δίκῃwith justice… 'in' justice. For the glossing cf. Hesychius epsilon2794 and Etymologicum Magnum 339.4. But according to a different interpretation reported by a scholion on Aristophanes, Wasps 421, e)n di/kh| (= e)n th=| di/kh|) means dika/zontes, …

- ε503Ἑκμήνουsix-month… follows (see next note) but rather from Plato, Laws 916B (Magnesia's law on restitution for being sold a sick slave). [2] Quotation unidentifiable (and perhaps incomplete; in any event, obscure as it stands).

- ε2830Ἐπωβελίαobol-fine… esp. epsilon 2832. The present entry (taken over in Etymologicum Magnum 368.49-54), of indeterminable origin, combines a attempt at defining it with a dubious and rhetorically-coloured explanation for its introduction. Modern study of the …
