- μ1456ΜύρσωνοςMurson's, Myrson's, Myrso's… genitive are all (for illustrative purposes) in grammarians, but Myrson itself is e.g. the name of a character in Bion's Bucolica.
- ε2547Ἐπίρρησιςrebuke, reproach… first of these glosses; and Latte there regards the headword itself as extracted from Archilochus (fr. 14: accusative case there). cf. epsilon 2548.
- λ731Λώπηνcloak… the headword occurs. For the first (commonplace) glossing word i(ma/tion, itself often translated into English as cloak, cf. iota 338; also iota 339, iota 340. For the headword itself cf. lambda 732, lambda 734, …
- β36Βαθυπέπλωνof long-robed [women]… helpfully explain that it refers to women. The headword adjective itself is characteristic of late epic (Nonnus, Quintus); see also epsilon 3574.
- ε103Ἐγκολεήσατοsheathed… from somewhere, but both it and indeed the (epic/poetic-sounding) verb itself are otherwise unattested. cf. koleo/s at kappa 1936.
- δ100Δαφνίνην φορῶ βακτηρίανI am carrying a laurel staffZenobius 3.12, and other paroemiographers. The proverbial phrase itself is the bulk (minus the opening) of an iambic trimeter.
- μ759Μετεμελήθη Μεταμέλειαchanged purpose, repented… (PG 80, 17331b) on Psalm 105.45 LXX. The unglossed headword itself, which occurs there, is aorist passive of metame/lei. cf. mu 708 and especially (for the substance) mu 709.
- κ2668ΚυλίχνιονpotletThe headword, a diminutive of kuli/xnh (itself a diminutive of kappa 2665), occurs at Aristophanes, Knights 906 (web address 1) and the bulk of the entry is drawn from the scholia thereto.
- α1607Ἄμναμοςoffspring… glossing in Hesychius alpha3715: 'son of a son'. The headword itself occurs several times (in different cases) in Lycophron, Alexandra; line 872, which has this nominative singular, generated several scholia. [1] cf. theta 308.
- ε248Ἕδοςhedos… Lexicon. The headword is perhaps extracted from Plato, Symposium 178B (itself quoting Hesiod, Theogony 117), though Timaeus' coverage is wider than his title suggests and there are many other possibilities. See also epsilon 222, …
- α446Ἀδέψητονuntanned, undressed… Hesychius the same headword but with different glossing. The headword itself, neuter nominative/accusative singular of this adjective, is doubtless quoted from Homer, Odyssey 20.2 (cf. 142), of leather, though note that in Apollonius Rhodius, …
- α875ἈκιδαλίαAkidalia, Acidalia… nymph of the spring? In any event, the Akidalia spring itself is mentioned at the end of the long fragment of the Plokamides (Braids), by the hellenistic poet Menophilus of Damascus, preserved in Stobaeus …
- χ339Χλιδανόνluxuriant… from somewhere but is not independently attested. On the adjective itself, with early instances in lyric poetry (Sappho fr.60 Lobel-Page) and tragedy (Aeschylus, Persae 544), see generally LSJ s.v.
- ε2959Ἐρήματαsolitary (ones)… used of sheep and goats; cf. next note. The headword itself appears to be nominative or accusative plural of a neuter noun e)/rhma, attested only here and in the derivative entry in ps.-Zonaras. [2] …
- α1622Ἁμορβόςattendant, shepherd… (Callimachus, Nicander, Oppian). Despite the etymology suggested here, the headword itself and several other words related to it all have a smooth breathing: see LSJ (web address 1).
- κ938Κατελάσαςhaving driven down, having subjugated… See already at beta 339 and delta 843. The headword itself -- aorist active participle, masculine nominative singular, of katelau/nw -- reappears in the same sense in Aristophanes, Ecclesiazusae 1082; and see also Theocritus, …
- λ717ΛόχμιοςthicketedThe headword adjective, in the nominative case, is itself unglossed; the glossing comes after its occurrence, in the quotation, in the accusative. cf. generally lambda 713, lambda 716. [1] Greek Anthology 6.32.2 (Agathias Scholasticus); …
- α130Ἀγάλλειglorifies, honours… alpha86 Theodoridis, with two further glosses (tima|=, proseu/xetai). The headword itself is third person singular, present indicative active, of a)ga/llw (cf. under alpha 131), evidently quoted from somewhere. The possibilities include Pindar, Nemeans 5.43, …
- ν523Νοῦν τὸν ξένονmind (is) the guest… Likewise in Diogenianus (6.85) and other paroemiographers. The headword phrase itself, in the accusative case, must be quoted from somewhere but is unidentifiable. [2] From alpha 1981.
- η61Ἠγλαϊσμένηmade splendid… are all feminine participles in the nominative singular. The headword itself (which must be quoted from somewhere) is the perfect middle/passive participle of the poetic (see LSJ s.v.) verb a)glai/zw. It is glossed by …
- κ1205Καὶ ταῦτ' ἔχοντες κυμάτων ἐν ἀγκάλαιςand that too staying in the arms of the waves… phrase 'in the arms of the waves' (i.e. storm-tossed) is itself a quotation: Archilochus fr.213 IEG.
- μ727Μεταποίνιονretributive, after-punishing… headword adjective is presumably extracted from the quotation. The quotation itself, consisting of a string of appositional accusative phrases in a dactylo-epitritic meter, must be a fragment of a longer statement, probably from choral …
- ε2122ἘπεικάζωI suppose… epsiloniota 57.) It is presumably generated by, but is not itself part of, the quotation given. [1] Sophokles, Elektra 663. Adler asserts that the entry is derived from the scholia to this line, but …
- μ312Μαψίδιονvain, false… Homer, Iliad 5.374, where the adverb mayidi/ws occurs. The headword itself -- neuter singular of the related adjective -- must be quoted from somewhere. [2] Paralleled (according to Adler) in the Ambrosian Lexicon (and …
- γ112Γελλοῦς παιδοφιλωτέραmore overfond of children than Gello… to Lesbos, and specifically to Sappho; hence the headword phrase itself is regarded as a fragment of Sappho (178 Lobel-Page). Hesychius has two consecutive 'Gello' entries (gamma307-308) of a darker nature: there she is …
- ι36Ἰανοκρήδεμνοςfine-veiled, with a fine veil… Same headword (with different glossing) in Hesychius iota60. The headword itself seems to come from Alcman (fr. 177 sub-fr. 1.1, but rough breathing there). LSJ s.v. notes that the prefix i)ano- could be a …

- ν207Νεόσμηκτονnew-cleaned… Homer (Iliad 13.342), Callimachus, Euphorion, and later prose. The headword itself is perhaps quoted from Greek Anthology 6.227.2 (Crinagoras of Mytilene), though there are later possibilities: [John of Damascus], Life of Barlaam and Joasaph …
