- κ2606ΚυδαντίδηςKydantides, Cydantides, Kydantidian… on Hyperides fr. 158 Jensen; in both lexica the headword itself is the demotikon ['demesman of Kydantidai'].
- ε1260Ἐνεσκευασμένηνpre-prepared[1] Both the headword itself and, hence, these glossing participles are feminine singular (accusative). What noun is associated or understood cannot be determined. [2] Isaeus fr. 9 Sauppe. A Demosthenic context, however, does not …
- ε256Ἑδωλιάσαιto furnish with seatsAbbreviated from Harpokration s.v., itself commenting on Lycurgus fr. 2 Conomis (from the speech in defence of his policies; see generally under lambda 825). Aorist infinitives; for the headword one see again at epsilon …
- α3289Ἀπόδειξιςdemonstration… rendered "the essential". In the Suda example, animal belongs "by itself" (which, in accordance with the previous distinction, is the same as "essentially") to man. [3] tekmh/rion and shmei=on are Aristotle's technical terms. A …
- α2598Ἀνωρθρίαζονthey were shrieking… Harpokration s.v. -- where however, as also in Andocides 1.29 itself, the form a)nwrqi/azon is transmitted. See LSJ s.v. a)norqia/zw (web address 1), and under alpha 2597.
- λ334ΛευκονοιεύςLeukonoian, Leuconoean… The demotikon is correctly given here, but the deme name itself is more authentically -- as in Harpok. -- Leukonoion; cf. lambda 333.
- ε2362Ἐπίκενος λόγοςempty speech… unparalleled elsewhere, is presumably quoted from somewhere; the adjective e)pi/kenos itself seems to be unattested before the Suda. cf. generally kappa 1316, kappa 1321, kappa 1326, kappa 1327.
- ει297Εἰς ὀρθὸν ἐπιδοῦναιto face the frontAlthough the aorist infinitive in the headword phrase itself is e)pidou=nai, it should more properly be a)podou=nai (as in the body of the entry itself, and cf. Asclepiodotus 10.1). [1] Literally, to bend towards …
- 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.
- λ729Λῴονοςbetter… two instances (Oedipus Tyrannus 1513, Philoctetes 1099), but neither lends itself to the specificity of the glossing phrase. For the comparative lwi/+wn see also lambda 726, lambda 728.
- α4154ᾈσθήσεταιit will be sungThe headword, not in itself glossed, must be quoted from somewhere. The extant possibilities are two: Gregory of Nyssa, In sanctum pascha 9.246.16 Gebhardt; Libanius, Epistles 1517.4.4. For ya/llw (literally, I sing to a …
- α717Ἀθεωρητίunobservedly… and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon (785). The adverb itself is perhaps quoted from Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 1.9.2. [2] From Harpokration s.v., who cites Antiphon the Sophist (87 B67 Diels-Kranz) for the word.
- 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' …
- ει164Εἴξασανhaving yielded… (web address 1); also Hesychius epsilon981 (ei)/canta). The present headword itself must be quoted from somewhere else; perhaps Gregory of Nazianzus' Apologetica (PG 35.425.25). For this verb, see also epsiloniota 91, epsiloniota 166.
- κ2020Κομποφακελορρήμοναpomp-bundle-worded… (Euripides is characterizing the language of Aeschylus). The glossing term itself does not occur outside this context. For fa/kelos, see phi 25, phi 26, phi 27.
- μ462ΜελάνωποςMelanopos, MelanopusAn abridgement of Harpokration s.v., itself generated by explanatory comment on Demosthenes 24.13 and 126. Melanopos of Aixone, politically prominent in Athens in the 360s and 350s BCE, is PA 9788 = LGPN ii …
- α2541Ἀνθυπομοσίαcounter-affidavit… both the word which generates the comment and the comment itself are finite verbs. (Also, in classical usage, the second vowel of this word-family is always omega, never omicron.) [2] Demosthenes 48.25 (web address …

- ε3371Εὐανθὴς γλῶσσαflowery tongue… figurative, at any rate to judge by the phrase (seemingly itself a quotation) used to gloss it here. Bernhardy attributed the gloss to Synesius or Damascius; Adler suggests a scholion on Gregory of Nazianzus.
- α307Ἀγοραίαν δίκηνagora lawsuit, forensic lawsuit… lexica in different forms. In Photius (alpha231 Theodoridis) the lemma itself is the adjective only, i.e. di/khn is lacking; the Synagoge (alpha82) has di/khn as the first part of the gloss. All that seems …
